Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Alan ScherstuhlAs Cash might say, it has the heart, and it has the blood, and by the time childhood chatter is played back again, feeling is soaked through it like the sweat in Cash's guitar strap.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerYou get a strong whiff of what it must have been like to be Johnny Cash, or his exasperated manager, from this film. It would make a good companion piece to “Walk the Line.”
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Sheila O'MalleyThis has the potential to be dreadfully maudlin stuff, but the film is too damn interesting to be maudlin.
ViewLondon - 8/10 by Jennifer TateIncredibly eye-opening and extraordinary thanks to endearingly personal accounts and strong archival footage.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Nigel AndrewsPlays like a non-fiction Walk the Line with script input by Eugene O'Neill.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by John DeForeThe film offers a privileged perspective on crucial moments in Johnny Cash's career, and serious fans will likely warm to it on the small screen.
Under the Radar - 7/10 by Austin TrunickIt's certainly a more enlightening look than any big-budget Hollywood biopic could offer.
The Guardian - 6/10 by Andrew PulverFor Cash devotees who want a hitherto-hidden perspective on their man, though, this is invaluable viewing.
Contactmusic.com - 6/10 by Rich ClineIt's fascinating to look at the life of Johnny Cash from a new angle, even if this documentary feels somewhat self-indulgent and a bit amateurish.
Observer (UK) - 6/10 by Philip FrenchThis film is rather like BBC's Who Do You Think You Are?, but with altogether too many scenes re-enacted by lookalikes.
