- Synopsis
- In a fictional America caught up in a civil war that is tearing the nation apart, a benefit concert is being organized. A traveling troubadour named Jack Fate (Bob Dylan) is sprung from jail by his scheming former manager, Uncle Sweetheart (John Goodman), to headline a concert with the expectations to bring peace to a country that is entrenched by chaos, lawlessness and pandemonium.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Requires tremendous restraint not to conclude that this entertainingly apocalyptic mess is about nothing, since it may well be about everything. But I doubt it."
-
"Isn't a good movie, at least by any conventional definition of the word good. But it's not a bad movie, either. It's a Bob Dylan movie."
-
"It's only when the film attempts to express its ideas in spoken English that logic dissolves into a muddle that would test the most rabid Dylanologis"
-
"An apocalyptic Bob Dylan song made cinematic, with all the vision and poetry dissipating in the transfer. It's as if the filmmakers listened to "Desolation Row" just one time too many."
-
"[It] is erratic and volatile, too, from scene to scene, moment to moment. The script is chaotic, but the top-flight actors play their hearts out."
-
"A fascinating, vexing, indulgent, visionary, pretentious, mesmerizing pop culture curio."
