I'm Not There



First off, the casting for this film was spot-on. High points: Cate Blanchett acted her bloody ass off - it was superb. David Cross as Allen Ginsberg (albeit a small part) was magnificent. Marcus Carl Franklin (below) did an amazing job as well.


The movie in general - FANTASTIC. It was moving, creative, beautiful to watch, excellent soundtrack, obviously. I don't want to give too much away, but it helps to know about Bob Dylan's life. There are a lot of elements of his biography that aren't fully explained, but if you know about him, you'll get it. A bit hard to follow, but overall, pure magic.
