Being a Dylan fan does not necessarily help...

Rating: 2/10 (22 July 2015)

Clearly I needed to be high on something, or be french, to appreciate this. Pretentious, boring nonsense of the highest order.
Some people have commented that they could not follow this as they don't know much about Bob Dylan. I am a huge fan of Bob Dylan and know a lot about his history, but even I could not follow the plot (assuming there was one). Clearly inside knowledge doesn't help.
The only thing keeping this from getting the lowest possible rating is the soundtrack, which features actual Bob Dylan songs, not covers. The sad thing about that is that Bob Dylan must have endorsed this movie, otherwise he would not have allowed his recordings to be used.
The fact that the movie is directed by Todd Haynes is a tip-off that it is craptacular. He directed Velvet Goldmine, another movie whose subject had heaps of potential but ended up being a pile of pretentious, boring excrement.
