...office to take up the presidency. In the more than two centuries since the French republic was founded, no one else has remained in power for so long. Chirac's longevity is all the more remarkable since his political instincts have often failed him.

...Cash as a legend in the making, choosing instead to focus on his humanity. Nothing is overdramatized, a wise choice when dealing with a man with a voice like sandpaper who sang for “good Christian folk” and inmates alike. It is this same popular appeal of Cash’s which makes the film appropriate for a wide variety of audiences. Whether you grew up belting out “Ring of Fire” or are an absolute newcomer to Cash’s music, his life story is enough to grab...
