Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/vehicle crash/references to racism, Soviet Union and Russia.

1961 to 1965: basically; we meet Bob Dylan/other names [Timothée Chalamet:] he is a very talented musician/songwriter and he is came to New York City to meet Woody Guthrie [Scoot McNairy:] he once was a country/other genres musician and songwriter, but at this point he had declining health so he was in hospital where Dylan went to see him and whilst he was there he also met Pete Seeger [Edward Norton:] he was good friends with Guthrie and likewise he was a country/other genres musician and songwriter as well. Where they both heard Dylan play and especially Seeger as this film will show did I would say more than his fair share to get Dylan on my way to stardom

Generally speaking: the script; well was that it? It honestly only covers roughly 1961 to 1965 how about the rest of his career? I mean you are expecting your viewers of your project to know the ins and outs of Bob Dylan and for 140 minutes of a film project it doesn't go too far, the only reason that we know of the years is because it either tells us on-screen or indicates it in scenery and then right at the end we get more words on screen, but putting that all to one side for a minute; I mean if you want to use the present as in here and now drifty approach then it is good.

Art; the set designs, wardrobe and everything else is of the most highest qualities.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are good if this is what they were going for; I mean Dylan definitely comes over as a penis so I'm not sure if this is what they were going for here as not to give too much away but enough to make my point; as he goes between two women and then pretty much raises a fingered gesture to the people that back him at the beginning of his career, but the cast of performers that is what makes this film everyone did their part in this film to live

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; I mean don't get me wrong I understand why this film is getting all these awards, especially on the acting side of things.  I'm not sure if this is what they were going for here or not, it also has to be said I am not a fan of this new age biography filmmaking in most cases; here are some examples of films that spring to mind Bob Marley: One Love 2024, Piece by Piece 2024 [based on Pharrell Williams: which I did want to see this film at the cinema I just couldn't find a suitable time: it comes to us via Lego and the only reason that this film is in this list, is because it shows I am open to change as it relates to filmmaking and their styles] and Better Man [based on Robin Williams - the singer and not actor, which I have no interest in seeing as it comes to us via Williams being a monkey via motion caption: which I say no thanks to that, if you can't take your own film seriously then why should I? I am aware that other critics have praised this film, but at the end of the day all what matters is the green of money and this film has of this content being first created only just made over $12 million at the box office from a budget of $110 million.

But back to this film has quite a few awards to its name such as 15 Winners that includes but not limited to Boston Society of Film Critics Awards 2024 BSFC Award Best Actor Timothée Chalamet and from the same award ceremony/event Best Supporting Actor Edward Norton. 93 Nominees which includes but not limited to also Las Vegas Film Critics Society Awards 2024 Sierra Award Best Supporting Actress Elle Fanning as  Sylvie Russo: she is Dylan's girlfriend after arriving in New York City, she is a very wholesome woman. Screen Actors Guild Awards 2025 Actor Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez: she is a musician in her own right and activist, she is also another love interest of Dylan's [to cover my back here; I should just point out I am just working with what I've seen from this film and nothing more] and from the same award ceremony/event Actor Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture Monica Barbaro Norbert Leo Butz Timothée Chalamet Elle Fanning Dan Fogler Will HarrisonEriko HatsuneBoyd Holbrook Scoot McNairyBig Bill Morganfield Edward Norton
