Warning. Warning. Danger ... it's horrible

This is one of those creative theatre drama projects that would have gotten oohs and ahs in high school - or even a bad college - but should have been left there and never seen a larger light of day.
6 people play Bob Dylan. But none of the characters are named "Bob Dylan". And Joan Baez has a different name.
What's the point? Does it help us invert our own values and views by imploding the actual person with non-negative masks of his inner self being? Or is it just pretentious manufactured artsyness? There's montage; real footage; real fake footage; fake real footage. It moves forward and back in time. Various other tricks. It could have been an MTV video.
It's a good cast - for the most part - and there's nothing wrong with the acting. And it's super-inventive to use Blanchet. But it's soooooooo boring.
Haynes did the painfully bad but you-have-to-like-it-because-it's-so-topical "Far from Heaven".
