    The bard has no bounds. Beautifully moving story, and loved the authenticity of the RTA alums playing themselves, alongside a dynamic performance from Colman Domingo and Clarence Maclin.

    The praise of being a new entry to film’s history of great epics was well warranted. Its reconceptualization of the American Dream, exploring the horrors our great marketers conveniently undersell, provides for a harrowing story of how this country can treat its new dreamers with a brutal reality. Great performances and even better cinematography made this fly-by in terms of runtime.

    Watched after Roger Stone’s tweet about how great Jeremy Strong’s performance is… checks out. He and Stan are great throughout.

    They filmed most of this in my neighborhood in Jersey City to capture 60s New York, so that’s cool. Chalamet is entirely convincing with the singing/playing, but less so in portraying Dylan’s enigma. I’d credit that to a fairly bare bones script that feels more like a Wikipedia page than a compelling story. But the performances, all around, were great, especially the cameo from Holbrook’s Cash.
