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

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
