    This film was very good (better than I thought it would be, and better than Okja- don’t come for me). I think something I admire about Director Bong is his ability to take almost cartoonish characters from funny to terrifying within the same scene seamlessly.

This is more a story about the cultural moment surrounding the American Folk scene than Bob Dylan himself. Which makes sense, as he has always been a private figure, and this film doesn't really uncover his mystery all that much. The film is seemingly more concerned with his reactions…
