Review: Walk the Line
Another music biography, very much going the same way that Ray already went. And the similarities are too big not to use that fact in this review. In the end, with the same setup and story line, the winner has to be Ray, with a deeper emotional story, with clearer inner demons and motives, and being slightly broader with subjects passing by. While I do recommend this as a not-must-see if you’ve already seen Ray, it’s not that bad at all. Acting may not be truly Oscar material, it is very good nonetheless. Added to that, the songs are sung by Phoenix and Witherspoon themselves, and it’s surprisingly good. For that alone, even though the music is not my cup of tea, it deserves an average grade.7.
