Washington Times
Walk the Line isn't as great a biopic as Ray, but it's still a fine tribute to the Man in Black and his muse.

Eye for Film
a very solid piece of filmmaking... but as a biopic it walks the line between conservative and bland.

A sturdily conventional biopic.

Witherspoon delivers a full-bodied, note-perfect performance as sassy, no-nonsense June, and proves herself an able singer in the process.

Walk the line es la vivencia de un hombre, entregándose al baile de sus demonios, para después enfrentarlos y salir avante de ellos.

Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Phoenix makes himself an immediate Oscar contender by capturing Cash with more than just facial expressions and body language.
Uruguay Total
Una biografía más bien convencional y algo superficial, que vale la pena más que nada por la labor de sus protagonistas y por la música de Johnny Cash.

Decent Films Guide
In spite of all it does right, Walk the Line leaves one with the nagging sense of a story unfinished — or rather, with something left out.

Cinema em Cena
Divide com Ray praticamente todos os seus erros e acertos, ambos revelando-se obras medianas que são elevadas graças às atuações impecáveis de seus protagonistas.

SA Movie & DVD Magazine
If the idea of sitting though a two-and-almost-a-half-hour long biographical movie about a Country singer doesn't exactly appeal, then think again.
MTV
Walk the Line is unusually moving without ever becoming mawkish, in the usual biopic way. It's a virtual reincarnation of a peerless American artist.

Urban Cinefile
It may not completely satisfy as a musical tribute to the great Johnny Cash, but it leaves you with a strong sense of the man, his rebellion and the tangible bond he shared with the woman he loved.
Top CriticI advise you catch up with Walk the Line, if only for Ms. Witherspoon's transcendent joyousness as a still-growing legend within a legend.
Jam! Movies
It's a crowd-pleaser, one you can't walk out of feeling cheated.
