I'm Not There

WORST MOVIE EVER 0 STARS

it sh1ts me how people can rate this movie, yyyyyyyyyyy do u people have a clue? the most jibberish filled, incoherent, dogs breakfast of a movie of all time, when it finished the whole theatre breathed a collective/ huuuuuge sigh of relief when it finished and old ladies where using capsicum spray get to the exit first. i guarantee you will want to kill yourself via a lethal injection of draino when (if you can sit through it) youve finished watching it. never before will you be completely and utterly baffled by the use of '6 bob dylans' none of which look the same (1 is a 6yo black boy set in the 1800s and one is richard gere set in the 1700s in a town with effing circus animals running round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). no connections are made between the 6 characters either you just sit there dribbling into your popcorn wondering why the director keeps flashing between the characters at random intervals (usually < 1 minute) and how a bunch of semi respectable actors could basically lend there name to a script which was obviously written as follows: 6yo bob dylan (nobody is called bob dylan in the movie BTW) picks up his hat and begins walking towards a door. flash to richard gere riding a giraffe from out the front of a wild west salloon. flash to cate blanchett in the back of a car looking out the window etc. etc. and the dialogue holyyyyyyyyy s, the dialogue is basically as random as the scene changes. i you found this movie good, please, oh please send me the address of your dealer/ your doctor who preformed your lobotomy you peanut

This is a beautiful movie. Cate Blanchett is brilliant and does justice to the 1960's Dylan in the Pennebaker documentary. The Dylan in this film is an enigma like Dylan himself. That's the point. It's creative and provocative. It's not a bio pic.

I was blown away! A stunning film, filled to the brim with talent, great cinematography and enjoyment!
Amazing! You'll never see a better version of Dylan than Cate Blanchett!

this movie was wonderful , the portraying aspects of dylans personas and life's events through different film grades was aesthetically pleasing , and the actors and actresses performances were top notch , special mention of cate blancett's performance whose likeness to dylan was uncanny . for those thinking of seeing this movie for a full biography of a musicians life like what walk the line did , this is probably not the movie for you it is more poetic and is created to evoke not inform.

Three cheers for ambition, but ultimately too hard to engage with.

The elliptical tracks can bore or lose you too easily. But it beats Ray by a mile.

This has to be one of the most disappointing movies of all time. Unless you are a huge Bob Dylan fan and very much 'in-the-know', avoid this film at all costs. The constant to-ing an fro-ing between apparently unrelated characters made me feel like I was watching a film made by an undergraduate student attempting to impress a pretentious lecturer. I consider myself in the majority when I say that I go to the movies to be entertained, rather than frustrated and bored and for that reason alone this film has to rank as one of the worst I have ever watched. Blanchett is good, though, I think - amongst the rambling context of the movie it's hard to really know how good her performance was!

Bob was Bob was Bob.

This was very dissapointing. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan and had very high expectations... but it didn't cut the mustard. The mustard remained very much intact. The feeling stuck me that when Bob Dylan said some of the stuff he said, it was fascinating and so engaging because of him, he was authentic. So put those words in an actors mouth and it just comes out silly, or try hard or something. Maybe because I've seen Dylan say it first... just didn't work.

Heath Ledger/Charlotte Gainsborough sequences were fabulous though. Tribute to what a loss Ledger's death is. I'll applaud the film for its ambition, but ultimately a failure. I say.
