No direction home

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2008)

All right, I get it. Dylan is a hard-to-get character. But why let the audience pay for this circumstance? At no time this movie was entertaining, at no time the movie gave you something that you could stick to, that you could relate to. The film hunts you from one pointless scene to another. No point of orientation, no direction home. So okay, maybe the movie caught what it is like to be Bob Dylan, not knowing who you are or where you belong. Five points for that. But in one point- and I'm positively sure about that- Todd Haynes wasn't right- being Bob Dylan must be a lot more exciting than this movie. Having said all there is to know, I still don't have my ten lines, so maybe I mention the following: Cate Blanchett and the rest of the cast is- as you probably know- brilliant. Anyway, save the bucks and go watch Charlie Wilson's War.
