I'm going to be biased with this film because I love folk music, enjoy Bob Dylan's music, and adore Timothée Chalamet, so please don’t take my opinion too seriously. I understand why some people may not appreciate it; the story of a pop star's ascension can feel overdone. Also, we approach biopics expecting an in-depth…

Braveheart is utterly epic. The battles are grandiose, the speeches are memorable, the story is truly entertaining and perfectly support by a beautiful score. Never during the entire three hours was I bored. Mel Gibson gave an incredible performance, and I initially thought his accent…
