Underrated Brilliant film!

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2008)

Ridiculously underrated film.Not being a big box office breaker did not do it any favours and it was perhaps a bit too arty for the academy. But this film is something special. An unusual but effective format with brilliant performances from Heath Ledger,Christian Bale and Ben Whishaw. However, they are all overshadowed by Cate Blanchett who steals the show. Most occasions going to the cinema in recent years I have come out of the cinema either blabbing about how rubbish,mediocre or brilliant the film was, but when coming out of the cinema after this film I said barely anything because I had been blown away! This film is unconventional but works. Filled with clever, meaningful lines and physical symbolism and in the process gives us an insight into the legend that is Bob Dylan.
