Our rate 1: **
A very musical film, worthwhile for its musical tribute and Timothée Chalamet‘s performance at the microphone, and a little less so on screen, but which has a rhythm problem, and doesn’t really bother to tell us about Bob Dylan the man, or to take an interest in the little side stories that would have fueled the story much more – we’ll overlook the few liberties taken with the facts.
