    as a big Bob Dylan fan I appreciated how many of his songs they put in this + some great Joan Baez cover!!! 

    Timmy plays young a Bobby moving through his early career and being changed by the state of his world and writing great music really well I think. But it feels like an impression of him? 

    The movie feels pretty surface level but tbh Dylan essence never could have been captured in a two hour movie, nor would he want it to be. I think the movie knows that as well but tries anyway?? Idk but everyone should listen to Blood on the Tracks

    Sorta crazy how good this is. Really thought it was all about messy cardinals gossiping but is actually a beautiful exploration of faith, the role of women in the church and future of the Catholic Church. Cinematography was beautiful as well and the ending was beautifully unexpected

    A rewatch and honestly what a great movie. The dual narrative, the music, the performances. Chefs kiss. Every scene is so well crafted and so thoughtful, not a single line nor frame feels wasted.
