I’m Not There. (2007) 5/10

Starring : Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger
Director : Todd Haynes
Running Time : 136 mins

This mocumentary looks into the life of Bob Dylan and the many personalities he embodied throughout his decades spanning musical career.

Although enlightening, and featuring some wonderfully rye performances from those playing Dyaln, this was overlong and overplayed and inevitably boring. Die-hard Dylan fans will enjoy the insights into his life and the soundtrack is pure Dylan (which is unusual for a documentary style movie which would normally focus on talk rather than song), but overall is was just too long winded without being as insightful as it could have been.
