Trivia:
In the scene where we see the The Tennessee Three for the first time ("Rock and Roll Ruby"), there is a sign on the wall behind the audience that says "CLASS OF 1955". This may be a reference to the group set up by Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison, called "Class of '55". more
Goofs:
Errors in geography: When Johnny Cash is reading letters he received (mostly from inmates), the movie shows one from the Texas State Penitentiary in Austin. The Texas State Penitentiary is in Huntsville, TX. more

I don't know about "Mangold the Auteur", and might need a bit more proof that this is really a director worth paying attention to, but this is a pretty watchable film. I found the story and film-making a bit predictable, like the usual bio-pic formula that you might expect if you've seen, say, coal miner's daughter, or any other bio-pic of someone you love. What makes this movie stand out is the two lead performances. Reese is unbelievably convincing as June Carter Cash. She almost disappears into the role. And her singing! Who knew???
And Joaquin! We've been waiting for him to deliver a really spectacular performance for some time, and this is finally it. I, for one, resisted the idea that ANYONE could portray the man in black, but he does a pretty fine job. Not just an impersonation, but actually a performance worth watching. Really fine.
Watch for the Jackson duet. Really awesome.
