Phenomenal Performances Make It.

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2009)

Just finished watching this film for the second time.
It's a pretty good film. I went into the film knowing very very little about Bob Dylan his music and his life. And i feel now i have a much better understanding of this.
The films quite slow at times and even more so it's quite boring in parts this is all that lets the film down it's extremely artistic , alternative and unlike anything you'll have seen before but in the process it's boring.
But with that in mind it's makes up for it slightly with the fact that after you've watched it feel you've seen something quite special and you feel satisfied!.
The acting was oustanding. The film almost feels more of a showcase of talent at times. With the best performances in my opinion coming from Cate Blanchett , Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. It really is some of the best acting i've ever seen Oscar worthy to say the least!.
It feels like a lesser version of the wrestler in the sense it's very slow and is more focused on the performances/roles rarther than any story development.
To tie it up it could have been a lot better with more thought. But! it was enjoyable even if boring at times and is so different it makes you almost fall in love with it! If you are a film fan like myself and like "REAL" acting i think you will appreciate this.
7/10
