Red in D @redindenver 7h Maybe Dylan fans will like this movie ... Not being among that group, I thought that, at least the first 20 minutes or so were just a mishmash of a whole bunch of actors doing/saying various things. At about the 25 minute mark, I ended up just fast forwarding through the segments to see the various actors who, although not having his name, were supposed to portray him. He wrote some good songs, but, having grown up in the 60s, we used to make fun of his voice -- mimicking him. We all felt he was highly over-rated as a performer. I was watching something a couple of years ago (something like the Kennedy Center Honors or the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) where he performed. It was God-awful, embarrassing, painful to watch. Needless to say, he hadn't improved in any way. See more Andrew S @Malasita Jul 6 Interesting Dylan biopic. If you know Dylan’s music and story then you will enjoy this.

For the casual viewer it can still be entertaining and the guest musicians will make it worth their while. Jim James doing "Going to Acapulco" with Calexico was beautiful. The entire soundtrack is magnificent. The original Dylan songs were perfectly selected. My take on the film is that it’s Dylan playing Dylan for what people think Dylan is - or was - throughout different periods of his life. So - there’s the boy riding trains (Woody) pretending to be a hobo and spinning a yarn, while also being on the lamb. Kate Blanchet plays amphetamine Dylan, frustrated and incapable of explaining himself. Rock star Dylan by Heath Ledger - pompous and nihilistic. And folk singer and gospel singer played by Bale, bearing his soul and being his most authentic selves, though not for long. The Billy the Kid Dylan played by Gere was one of my favorites. Living a quiet life of exile, he confronts an injustice, then retreats. Nothing more Dylan.

See more Cat B @PieGirly 05/18/2025 Honestly just a weird-ahh movie. It's one of those really avant-garde things that makes people say, "It was....interesting." My teenage daughter spent the entirety of the film going "What the frick is happening? I'm so confused rn" which is basically the definition of this movie, so heads-up. I'm sure this is some peoples' jam, and good for them, so if you're that specific kind of artsy type, go ahead, but if you're looking for an informative, straightforward, or true to reality sort of movie, this is not it.
