It's more like Lisztomania, and other outrageous biographical freak shows created by that cinematic savant Ken Russell."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron B "A marriage of surrealism, idolatry, and psychological babbling, I'm Not There is an especially intoxicating witches brew for the Dylan faithful, with enough directorial cartwheeling to keep the rest interested in the journey as well."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 5/5 "Haynes' film, certainly his masterpiece to date and one of the year's best"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin B+ "Here is a virtuosic display of Todd Haynes' capacity for reflecting Dylan's forward thinking via a blend of perfectly coded vignettes. It's not a film for lazy audiences."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey B "The iconoclastic film about the idiosyncratic artist is truly an inventive film but not an easy one to come to grips with or instantly enjoy."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "The most unexpected external fact about 'I'm Not There' is that Todd Haynes got Bob Dylan's permission for this film."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit B "It's not a challenge to enjoy it (assuming you know what you're in for), but it is difficult to take it all in at once."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D+ "Incorporates and represents everything I hate about Bob Dylan, which is what everyone loves about Bob Dylan, so this is emphatically a movie for those who worship the man."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D+ "Incorporates and represents everything I hate about Bob Dylan, which is what everyone loves about Bob Dylan, so this is emphatically a movie for those who worship the man."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C- "A showy, if not terribly coherent, film that ultimately tells us less about its inspiration than about the filmmaker's penchant for technical flamboyance."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A phantasmagoric trip that explores Bob Dylan as a mystery man and a shape-shifter par excellence"   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B "Even though it doesn't entirely succeed, it does offer a blessed aesthetic alternative to the boilerplate formula of dreckish fare like Ray. Point well taken and much appreciated, Mr. Haynes, if nothing else."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 2/4 "There are those who will applaud what Haynes and his actors have accomplished, and I can understand its appeal on an intellectual level. But I am not a supporter of film without form or art without structure."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "I'm Not There is so sleek and stylish as to nearly disappear from sight as you're watching it. But at the same time, you recognize the pleasure of the cleverness."   Cinematical   James Rocchi 3/4 "A rag-tag pastiche of genius, wit and irony."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 9/10 "I love the idea of this concept as well as the way Haynes carried it out ... I'm Not There always has something to look at, to grasp at, and to think about."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen B+ "takes us laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the screen with Dylan metaphors and anecdotes"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit "Whether you buy the whole enchilada or not, you'll be in awe of There's editing and photography."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick B "Haynes's much praised film lifts a concept Todd Solondz used 2 years ago for (the superior in my opinion) Palindromes...and his idea of breaking Dylan down into the different personas he has played has mixed, albeit mostly intriguing results."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/4 "Too much myth and not enough man."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik A- "Todd Haynes' masterful portrait of Bob Dylan scrutinizes the musician-poet-actor-artist-husband-father-outlaw and leaves him at once as mysterious as ever and yet somehow knowable."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 3/4 "Full of Dylanology, Dylanography and Dylanerbole... if that's your thing"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "[A] challenging meditation on fame, creativity, on larger-than-life personality, and on whether pop culture can be ever be art, or art pop culture.... [E]ndlessly provocative..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "An intellectual whirligig lacking depth or soul."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 5/5 "Uma das cinebiografias mais atípicas e, por isto mesmo, mais fiéis ao espírito criativo de seu biografado que já tive o prazer de assistir."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 5/5 "This is a film in which the name "Bob Dylan" is never uttered once and yet it still comes closer to getting to the bottom of the man, his music and his myths than anything that I can recall reading or seeing."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4.5/5 "There's a wonderfully adventurous tone to this Bob Dylan biopic that keeps us utterly gripped, even though it's hard to get a grip on."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "Perhaps the whole weird, scattershot thing might play better when you can skip-search to your favorite bits."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C "Not particularly entertaining or enlightening, but it is slow-moving and long."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "It's so rich with ideas and visual details and imaginative gestures that you can lose yourself in the cinematic musings."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2/4 "ponderous and self-absorbed"   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "one of the most inventive and joyous movies of the year."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 "A kaleidoscopic, non-linear meditation with little coherence, it's bizarre, discordant and surreal - recommended only for Dylan devotees, definitely not a mainstream movie."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 7/10 "Presents its arguments with the imagination of a thesis paper...pleasurable, although exceedingly hard."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1
