    I really wanted to come on here and say this wasnt as bad as the kicking it's getting - but it's just not great is it. Shame.

    ★★★★½

    Astonishingly well made television, the writing, the performances, and of course the camera work are all first class. The one-take thing immerses you into the story and builds tension with no let up.
    (Problem is, it's so good it's got folk insisting it should be used to educate parents and young boys? Calm down)

    Had a good time with this - but I can't help but wonder if I'd have enjoyed it more if the trailer had kept it's powder dry over some of the reveals.
    Good film though, tight writing, good performances and looks great.

    Really enjoyed this. Everyone will tell you Chalomet is great - and he is, never turning into a caricature - but I think the supporting cast are up there too, and it's their reactions to Dylan's songs which really make this work for me.
    Decent biopic, maybe lacked a little 'edge' but I had a good time.
