Critic Reviews
I'm Not There has epic length, but it's one bad idea after another. full review
What Haynes does is take away the reassuring segues that argue everything flows and makes sense, and to show what's really chaos under the skin of the film. full review
Among its many achievements, Todd Haynes's I'm Not There hurls a Molotov cocktail through the facade of the Hollywood biopic factory. full review
Cate Blanchett has delivered the most audacious, astounding and entertaining performance of the year by ANYONE, male or female. full review
one of the most inventive and joyous movies of the year. full review
It makes Yellow Submarine look like a miracle of sober narrative. full review
Todd Haynes has devised a Bob Dylan biopic that not even Dylan, for all his self-mythologizing, would have had the audacity to conceive. full review
An intellectual whirligig lacking depth or soul. full review
