    Walk the Line is one of the greatest biopics ever imo. That’s probably my favorite performance from her. Great film. Johnny Cash is one of favorite artists ever, and Joaquin and Reese really did Johnny and June justice with their performances in that movie. The fact that they actually sang the songs and played the instruments really helped the movie feel more authentic. 🙌

    I can’t believe they didn’t talk about Fear! That role was an important role for young women to see bc it centered around an unhealthy relationship and young women need to know the importance of walking away before it gets too deep or knowing how to spot red flags! Not to mention it was one of Mark Wahlburg’s first roles!

    Someone else mentioned it but I will again --where's Pleasantville ? I'd love to hear her thoughts on that one, It starts off as a silly fantasy, and blossoms into a beautiful, creative ode to awakening. The whole cast is great and though it's a lightweight role for her, Reese was just perfect.
