like a richly budgeted student film, tedious, long, artsy in the worst sense

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2007)

By all means rent it so you can fast forward to the Cate Blanchett scenes. But even her scenes are too long and the theme of how Dylan changes and the 'man', the BBC reporter, just don't get it is repeated eight or nine times.
Even if I wanted a rehash of the Dylan mythology, I don't need a pretentious meaningfulness to it. And I don't need the same ideas over and over. Give me a story with some flow.
This was a chopped up mess, albeit with a few brilliant flashes. And wayyy too long. And wayyy too much about the filmmaker being clever. Gosh, Dylan is different people and he changes. I get it.
