Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

beezus228 I am a HUGE Dylan fan, but this movie was a train wreck. It was so bad I had to watch it until the end. Kept hoping it would get better. It didn't. Even all the great cast members were flat in their roles. None of them could impart any emotion in their characters. Heck, I couldn't tell if it was a drama or a tongue in cheek comedy. The story line was weak and it was hard to figure out why most of the characters were even in the story line. Guess I'm just not that intellectual like those that gave this a high rating. The reason I gave it 2 stars was for the the music in the film. Which there wasn't enough of to keep me happy. If you have nothing better to do, I recommend that you do watch this flick. It's amazingly awful. Just like a train wreck. Sorry Bob, I've been to at least 10 of your concerts and your music has made me cry tears of joy, but acting is not something you were born to do.

suncityphoto This is a great movie, great visuals, great music, great acting...it's not for everyone but if you like intense emotional outbursts by some great actors, like you've never seen them before, which are really funny, the costumes remind me of 1969 in LA, if you can dig a totally acid drenched setting, ambiguity, mysticism, magical colors and above all, some great Dylan performances..check it out. It's worth it for just his performances. Made me go and dig out Nashville Skyline and listened to it this morning. I happened to catch it on HDNet and was hypnotized. I didn't see it from the beginning so clearly must do that, but I don't think the plot line matters, it's just fun, weird, annoying but some great lines and some great performances. Makes you think, about what I don't know but somehow it's a hopeful sort of movie. Got to get the DVD.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU Bob Dylan is not always very well inspired these days. To invest his song and music in a fictitious Latin American situation with a dying general dictator, a civil war without any ideology, some dumb sharks trying to exploit some artists to organize a free concert in support of … of what? It tries to show how Latin America is rotten, how our times have changed so much that we have lost all ethical ideology, how show business is meaningless, how even a revolutionary guerrilla warfare has no real ideological objective and yet the film sets some religious objectives to this revolution. And it all ends in a fiasco. Bob Dylan is no great actor and that is not new. His music are interesting but this film is betraying them 100%.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University Paris Dauphine & University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne

lafilm Get in the right frame of mind to watch this movie. Bob Dylan has a unique ability for understatement, while at the same time doing broad irony. Here he stays in character. At least he looks right at the camera. Like a Dylan song. Don't look for the standard movie structure. Much seems to be about the doing rather then the getting it done. It's great fun watching the characters. They never looked better then in this film. Bob always attracted the best backing group. And then there's the music. It's the songs that make little sense that really set the tone. Those who don't get it never will. While it's not Dylan's greatest moment, it still holds interest since it's born of his determination and the draw of his energy.
