Walk The Line
Joaquin and Reese Can Sing!

What a pleasant surprise this film was. I went in with no expectations (as it was a later pick for me) and no foreknowledge of Johnny Cash or June Carter. This film was highly enjoyable, thick with music, and it was so nice to see a strong female character portrayed with such heart. Reese Witherspoon made June Carter come alive in her determination and desire to stand on her own two feet. I can definitely foresee both Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon being offered singing/acting roles in the future. I wouldn't normally see something at the festival that is due for theatrical release so soon after the festival, but this is definitely one film I'm glad I saw this week, so that I can recommend it to friends - even those who don't like country music!
