Rolling Stone
Witherspoon has nailed it before, notably in "Election," but her portrayal of June is astounding in its vitality and richness.

Entertainment Weekly
A big, juicy, enjoyable wide-canvas biography with a handful of indelible moments.

This movie has a driving plotline that "Ray" lacked - a love story. To me, that's what elevates this film.

Variety
Walk the Line is a strongly acted, musically vibrant, conventionally satisfying biopic of country/rock/blues legend Johnny Cash and his second wife, June Carter.

An engaging biopic that would totally lack surprise were it not for Reese Witherspoon, and a healthy touch of ambivalence about the populist myth that bound The Man in Black to his adoring public.
