Dylan does about a dozen songs with his tight juke-joint band, and it's worth sitting through the rest of the nonsense for both the music and for Jeff Bridges, in Fisher King mode as Dylan's nemesis.

Only the scenes of Dylan on stage really hold the attention.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006

A strong contender for the worst movie of the century.

Far from the greatest story ever told.

Absolutely no saving graces here.

A fascinating mess.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 26, 2003

The stellar but misguided cast ... is simply painful to watch as the doomed vehicle it's trapped in comes whistling toward a fiery crash landing.

Full Review | Sep 5, 2003

A fascinating, vexing, indulgent, visionary, pretentious, mesmerizing pop culture curio.

The music is great. Dylan and his band do a half-dozen songs that crackle with energy.

Movies are much too representational and finite to accommodate the Mbius strips of Dylan's language.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2003

A vanity production beyond all reason.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 15, 2003

There's a cracked integrity to the picture that eventually won me over.

If Seinfeld is the late sitcom about nothing, M&A is the feature about something. It's just that some of us out here in the hinterland can't figure out what it is.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 15, 2003

Would have been much better if the makers had included more music, shot their actors with Ingmar Bergman close-up minimalism and made something looser, simpler and wilder.

Dylan seems content to just recycle his old ideas.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 8, 2003

The results are heavy-handed and oppressive in the way that vanity projects and bloated collective theatre experiments often are.

Void of inflection, Dylan doesn't act, but stands and looks uneasy in whatever space the camera is pointing. The deadness in his eyes stops the movie cold.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 1, 2003

The film is a train wreck, and an overbearing train wreck at that.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 1, 2003

Masked and Anonymous is the rare movie that improves with repeated viewings, but is almost unendurable to sit through just once.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 31, 2003

Dylan just stares in mute incomprehension. I know the feeling.
