...spiritedly plays, with a mixture of poise and tomboyish charm, the quintessential Austen heroine who, while refusing to submit to social pressures, finds she is inexplicably falling in love.

...blushing fool. Phoenix is superb at stepping fully into Cash’s shoes, whether stumbling incoherently through conversation at the depths of his amphetamine addiction, or rocking out on stage next to Jerry Lee Lewis (Waylon Payne). Cash’s home life may not have been perfect, but Phoenix takes every blow as though he were born to the role.
