I saw the film recently, during a long flight.

While impressed by the *thorough* and certainly convincing performance given by Phoenix, it was Witherspoon who left me thinking about her... long after I had reached my destination.

Compared to Johnny Cash, June Carter is unknown to us -- we *consumed* the story in the film so hungrily for wanting to *know* what role the WOMAN had played in the making of this Man in Black.

The actress seemed to know this, too.

She FILLED up the character with things we could not have provided for ourselves, for not knowing all that much about Her.

For me, the best part was Her ad-libbing. That was simply brilliant -
