this was great albeit a little bit flawed, nothing too drastic. Boyd Holbrook freaked it Inside Llewyn Davis is still the best film about Dylan without ever saying his name and I'm Not There is the best one about the image and idea of Dylan, but this is probably the best version of a standard biopic about him that doesn't lean too hard into the worship (so glad Mangold resisted the temptation to show the Freewheelin album cover being shot lol)
watched Walk the Line tonight for the first time and the parallels between it and this were really interesting. cool to see Mangold's style develop between that and ACU, I feel like they'd make an awesome double feature
Looking at late February / early March for streaming release? Really want to get my Dad to see this, but its pretty rare to get him to see movies in theaters, and I know he'll watch it on streaming for sure. He's seen Dylan live twice in the past, and had his formative years in the 60's and 70's, so I think he'd love this film
