Audience Member I had of course heard the soundtrack countless times but had never seen the images of Cash playing at Folsom Prison. For the evening, the prisoners felt liberated and united in their common issues so wonderfully sung by Cash. A great moment in history. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Great music and a great story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member considering this was reconstructed without any live footage, its pretty impressive...probably helps if u're a Cash fan (I am) but an interesting look at a career defining moment Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Un documental interesante que retrata de cerca el espíritu de johnny Cash y establece cierto paralelo entre la desgracia de los reos y los prpios fantasmas de Cash, como sus adicciones. A pesar de no ser largo, la duración se siente y puede tener que vre con que no hay registros en video del show que dio Cash al grabar ese disco. Interesante sobretodo para músicos. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than walk the line, and far more detailed on Cash's live and exploits. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The film has a unique way of coming at telling the story of a much written about person and event but the narrative isn't as focused as it should be and poor Johnny almost gets lost in the mix. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
