If you are an early Dylan fan you should see this movie. I may see it again when it comes to a local theater.
Exceptional biopic with parts of 40 truly transformative songs.Authentic depiction of the time, place and style of the early 60’s era.Sincerely acted by enormous talent. Stay thru credits & listen to three brilliant, inspiring masterpieces of powerful music. My favorite film of the year!
The portrayal of Bob Dylan was excellent.
Amazing music brought back by the exceptional cast. I have seen it twice and will go again.
Great to see some young actors, and Ed Norton, recreating part of this old person's past. Great music, theater and visuals.
I really don't care what the ratings are or what other people think about Dylan...who cares what music I've listened 1964-2024.... Who cares what anyone else thinks of Bob Dylan? What do his fans, friends, musicians all over the world care about opinions of others? WE DON"T...
While the actors were great the movie should have been about the meaning of the words of Dylan's most poignant songs like The Times They Are A Changin, Blowing in the Wind, Tomorrow is such a Long Time or Knock'n on Heaven's Door as examples.The greatness of Dylan was in the lyrics that have existential meaning for every generation not in the man himself. The movie totally missed a great opportunity to educate current generations on lyrics that could bring humankind together instead of fighting one another.
Fabulous
I liked the whole movie. I thought it was great. I revisited my youth in the music, people and places.
Great acting & music - good story to tell about a musical genius & the resistance to his music as his skill, creativity & orientation evolved
The cast is Oscar-worthy, the music is sensational, and the film is riveting. It brings the early 60's Folk Boom back to vibrant life and weaves a compelling tale of the rise of its brightest star, the inimitable and mysterious Bob Dylan. It's a must see!
This movie is a must-see for all music lovers as well as those who want to learn about the history of modern music. Timothee Chalamet‘s performance is stunning. Studying for four years with a voice coach to sound like Bob Dylan when he speaks and sings, he accomplished an enormous challenge. BRAVO!!!
Dumb. Dylan made some cute songs but his life story is not impressive enough for a movie. It doesn't even make a point except that he treated women badly.
Movie O.K. acting O.K. music some good and some put me to sleep. A bit on the down side. Story a reality for young musicians in that era.
Edward norton was excellent also. Great actor!!!
Excellent music and acting!!!
Acting was great. Good job by timothy!!! amazing movie?!!!
The acting was very good. I enjoyed it very much.
Early 60’s thru today
It was very well cast, and it was a very honest interpretation of Dylan. The soundtrack was AMAZING!!! BTW - the person who stated that there was no plot - it was a rockumentary sheesh...
This film really didn't have a heart. It was a series of music videos tied together with a meandering and unfocused plot. I was impressed with Naheed Nenshi's performance portraying Albert Grossman.
I thought a movie two and a half hours long would be too long but the time flew by. The story was very interesting and the performance was very well done. I would have definitely portrayed Johnny Cash with Joaquin Phoenix.
Loved this movie from the beginning to the end! Enjoyed the music and loved the story!
Love this movie from the beginning to the end! Enjoyed the music and lived the story!
This movie is well made, great acting, awesome music. Highly recommend seeing it, the 2hr & 20min flew by.
I wish the movie had been longer!! Was a teenager back when Bob Dylan was in the beginning of his career. Loved his music then, and still do. Hummed and sung to myself during those iconic songs, throughout the movie.
Lot of good music and interesting characters
You don't have to love Dylan's voice to be amazed at how this movie shows what an unparalleled lyricist, songwriter, and musician he was. After watching this flick, I made a point of watching the documentary "Don't Look Back" about the real Dylan and Joan Baez on their infamous concert tour of England in 1965. The Real Dylan did a great "imitation" of Chamalet in this movie. For those of us in the 70's the movie gave us goose bumps throughout as we see the reaction to songs heard for the first time that are now part of American musical folklore.
True folk music traditions (particularly the blues) are not about "pretty" vocals. The salient fact about Dylan's vocal style is that his lyrics always stand out clearly, except perhaps when he pushes a fast tempo. Then it's just a matter of being able to keep up. Clarity prevails. "I dreamed I saw St. Augustine. alive with fiery breath"
Superb acting…..I felt as though I were witnessing the early Bob Dylan in real life. Facets of his early career were revealed, which many people might be unaware of. Music was, of course outstanding! Every second of the film had my undivided attention!
Well done, I was not really a fan, but great acting and very enjoyable.
If you're a fan of music and songwriters you'll like this very enjoyable depiction of one of the greatest!
I’m in my 70’s so followed Dylan from when he was an unknown. The star can be proud of his dialect and music - he was absolutely Dylan. I loved the music and felt it was true to life. I saw Dylan last year in concert - he remains a talented performer in his 80’s.
Great acting, great music and best movie i saw all year.
Very well done. Good movie… great acting (singing)
Terrible movie. Dylan was not very nice to women. What is the point of telling us that? It's just ignorant.
Badly done. Boring. Save your money.
Do I hear Oscar nominations? CHALAMET-Excellent Performance! Bobby's Girlfriend-Superb Pete Seger-Outstanding Woody-Believable "The Man in Black" ?? 😍 💖
Lots of good actors and well acted. The movie gives a real sense of the early to mid-sixties. The story of Dylan going electric was a good addition - you must listen to Positively West 4th Street afterward. Lot's of good music too. Don't miss this movie.
I really, really liked this movie. It is so well done. Timothée Chalamet is scary brilliant it as Dylan. Didn't all together buy the Joan Baez character. Baez's voice can't be characterized like Dylan's can; it should have been dubbed, but the actress who played did a good job playing her. you don't have to be a Dylan fan to appreciate this movie or the incredible talent and contribution Dylan made to music.
