Ring of Fire is a better than average Lifetime movie that will leave viewers hand-clapping, singing along and maybe sniffling a little.
Gail Pennington, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Overview
“Ring of Fire” recounts June’s meteoric rise to fame with The Carter Family, considered the First Family of country music, before breaking out on her own to perform, when she would become a legend in her own right. Taking a personal look at June’s first two marriages, life with her daughters and touching relationship with her son, the movie showcases her infamous courtship with Cash and June’s heroic role in saving his life during his battles with substance abuse, as well as how her unwavering faith in God, confidence and talent has taught lessons to generations.

June Carter Cash is the kind of performer you just naturally tend to like, and you'll like her even more after seeing this new biopic.
David Hinckley, New York Daily News
Rotten
Jewel hits the right notes as June Carter Cash, but dutiful biopic doesn't quite carry a tune.
Brian Lowry, Variety
Rotten
Ross, who does a creepy, sniveling guy better than anyone, is totally miscast playing big, rough, tough Cash. In fact, it's so incomprehensible that it's, well, creepy.
Linda Stasi, New York Post
Rotten
Except for the chance to hear a few country classics, the movie doesn't offer much else.
Emily Yahr, Washington Post
