Is this a film about Cash or about a father son relationship? Because it misses the boat on either themes. If this is a film about Cash, it's narrow in scope. If this is a film about an estranged father-son relationship, the film-maker lacks "heart". He lacks emotional depth. Where are any unscripted interviews with his mother or family members or with himself? Would have been more emotional to hear about his feelings. Seems the film-maker could have made this a much more emotionally touching film. Instead it appears he tried to capitalize on his dad's past as Cash's manager (who cares). Film has a couple interesting moments but quickly becomes a bore. It's also hard to feel any sort of compassion for the story as it's not really unique. Considering today's family, most of us grew up with absent parents in some way. Hard to feel bad for an upper-middle class son of a successful entertainment manager - boo hoo. Maybe the film-maker should volunteer his time and help the homeless.
