What made this film work, and what ultimately won it most of its acclaim, were the performances of the actors.

A fun, well acted, and well directed piece of filmmaking...

[Director] James Mangold's mostly excellent Walk the Line is designed as a Christian epic.

the acting compensates for the weaknesses in the script

Walk the Line isn't as great a biopic as Ray, but it's still a fine tribute to the Man in Black and his muse.

If Walk the Line isn't the full story of Johnny Cash, it's at least a crucial corner of it, a way of coaxing a legend down to a human scale, without shrinking that legend away to nothingness.

Reverently reductive

It's a tidy Hollywood arc imposed on a messy real life, but it gets the job done.

Phoenix is terrific in Walk the Line - - the actor's taciturn, brooding persona dovetails beautifully with the role - - but it's his scenes opposite Witherspoon that give the movie its real spark.

Mangold was wisely generous with the amount of musical performance he included in the film, and the later scenes -- showing Cash and Carter as partners -- are so well shot and edited, they defy you to sit still.

A Johnny Cash biopic equally packed with music and frustrated love, Walk the Line goes from compelling to enthralling.
