Critics Consensus

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese lives up to its unwieldy title with a delightfully unorthodox look at a pivotal period in its subject's career.

Ed Masley Arizona Republic It wouldn't take much work to make a case for Dylan as a criminally underrated vocal stylist based on these performances alone, approaching each new song as one more masterpiece he can't stop painting over. Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Peter Aspden Financial Times Martin Scorsese's masterful account of Bob Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue contains predictable treasures, jolting surprises, and a mischievous sprinkle of untruths. Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Jordan Hoffman TV Guide It is a great marriage of artist(s) and repertoire, and might slip past some people as just another talking head music doc. It's actually far more sly than that. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Brian Susbielles InSession Film It isn’t a Martin Scorsese picture, as viewers would see on the credits, but a story being told by Dylan himself in his confusional state that meshes with the freewheeling form of the actual shows. Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine The music is one thing, the persona another. I’ve never had much patience with the narrative of Unknowable Trickster Dylan, the shape-shifting enigma that defined a generation while making himself tantalizingly unknowable... Jan 3, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Scorsese’s new concert documentary film is sometimes moving, sometimes powerful musically, and almost always an entertaining piece of filmmaking, if not a head-scratching one. Rated: 4/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

JAMES Very compelling and entertaining. Joan Baez was a jewel among many. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/19 Full Review stephen b As a documentary it's a little faulty. One director's footage being represented by a second director comes out a bit muddled. But the live music from this tour is so great it makes it still worth a watch. A full on concert movie would have been so much better. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review AO S You have to do ALOT of drugs to like this movie and the music. This Dylan guy comes across like a serious jerk and narcissist. Why is everyone kissing his ass? I know he was a great songwriter in the 60's but this is a bad hippy trip and a mess of a documentary. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Sams K A must see, whether you are Bob Dylan fans or not, this is an amazing portrait of America during the 70s. Brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Jason R All in all, a most peculiar film https://uberscaryblog.blogspot.com/2022/10/when-somebodys-wearing-mask-hes-gonna.html Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review mike p Whether you are a Bob Dylan fan or not, this is a fascinating look back at the 1970s in the USA.
