By Beth Accomando (509) for KPBS.org (509) on 28 Nov 2007

What I think the film does succeed in doing is offering not so much a portrait of Dylan but rather a portrait of celebrity using Dylan as the…

Review of I'm Not There (2007)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 27 Nov 2007

It willfully denies one of the sacred tenets of cinematic storytelling, that every movie -- comedy, romance or biography -- is actually a mystery,…

Review of I'm Not There (2007)

By Karina Longworth (242) for SpoutBlog (66) on 26 Nov 2007

Empty, literal nostalgia...Haynes brings the detached cool, making his exercise in self-indulgent nostalgia safe for hipsters…

Review of I'm Not There (2007)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 26 Nov 2007

Review of I'm Not There (2007)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 21 Nov 2007

In a movie loaded with small gems of insight and inspiration, Blanchett's portrayal of the Jude Dylan is a diamond…

Review of I'm Not There (2007)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 21 Nov 2007
