	Media	Author	Review
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Invaluable for both old fans and newcomers."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Zimny assembles a powerful, fully authorized tribute(...) There have been any number of movies about Johnny Cash (...) but none have expressed the singular power of his solemn voice better than 'The Gift'."
		Joe Leydon Variety	"A richly textured portrait infused with sympathetic but unvarnished honesty, one that likely will endure as necessary source material for any future biographer of the Man in Black."
		Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"Zimny's chorus of unseen voices (...) meld so seamlessly with astonishing archive footage and poetic reconstruction that the man comes alive"
		Nick Harley Den of Geek	"'The Gift' really shines when it covers Cash’s relationship to his second wife, June Carter. Their love story served as the heart of 'Walk the Line' (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
