They slip easily into the roles, picking up mannerisms and life truths so simply that it is impossible to avoid falling under the story??s spell. Even their renditions of the songs are impressive; it’s almost impossible to differentiate Phoenix and Witherspoon’s versions from the originals.The film’s soundtrack is amazing, and you will be singing Johnny Cash songs for the next few days...
