I can't vouch to say how accurately the two main characters (Sonny are Cher) are portrayed in this film not in appearance and their mannerisms. From what I have seen of the couple, the actors seem convincing and the story line seems true to events.
The scenes of the couple as hosts on a TV show are particularly, good and are a good representation of TV show hosts in America in the 60's, rather than as they might appear nowadays.
The media/news since has portrayed Sonny as somewhat of an over-bearing character, but the Cher portrayed seems to understand this along along and go with for as long as possible for the career benefits she received, which seems a much more likely and credible turn of events.
I didn't realize until watching this film how much Sonny had contributed to the music production of their songs and how closely he had worked with other producers at the time, including the awesome, and now highly discredited Phil Spector.
Whatever they have done since, we all have to learn to see their actions for what was going on in the context of their time, rather than writing them off because of later historical re-interpretations.
It's a little long at about 2 hours long, but well worth watching right through to the end.
