Dylan himself has chimed in.

Was wondering if the one reviewer who wasn’t as high on it as everybody else was David Ehrlich before clicking on the review, and sure enough.

Because of course why wouldn’t the guy who thinks Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull is the best in the series be allergic to everything with a tried-and-true formula, even if it’s good?

I don’t doubt that the man is a good writer and it’s nice to have differing opinions and critiques of things, but he always comes off so smarmy and full of himself.

Cruise is feeling it.

Cruise has really been showing up for his Maverick costars between this and the Twisters premiere.

 

[Sawyer]

That’s wild.

Just got out of a semi-crowded evening showing. Fantastic film that really draws you into the life of Bob Dylan. I'd expect nothing but greatness from James Mangold, given his past work, and Chalamet really does vanish into the role, with a performance that shows there's a lot more to this young kid who just rolled up to the city with nothing but his guitar.

With a few exceptions, I know next to nothing about Bob Dylan's history of music, but this made me not just want to listen to more of it, but watch this film again. This isn't a 'best of' when it comes to movies like this. There's no montage of performances or 'Who's who,' scenes- the sort of stuff that Walk Hard satirized. It puts Dylan front and center and takes us through his thought process, his experimentation, and journey to be who he wants to be, while the listening audience wants him to be something else.

And while it's hard to spoil a movie that's about a real person, I'll err on the side of caution and say that my favorite scene is without a doubt

I loved the film , but as a huge Dylan , The Byrds , The Beatles , etc , fan , I'm biased .

Even though this film isn't a platform for Spin Offs, I'd love to see Norton's Pete Seegar biopic and Monica's Joan Baez biopic .

If you're looking to get into Dylan's music , I would highly recommend his classic album The Freewheelin ' Bob Dylan
