This was an interesting film, with good character development, that's worth catching when it comes out on NETFLIX (or whereever).
It explores the rise of Bob Dylan in the folk and folk-rock music world, and all the people (including fans) who want a piece of him and seem to think they own him and his musical direction.
Timothee Chalemet plays the brooding Dylan well. Monica Barbaro makes for a seductive, pretty, and good-voiced Joan Baez, Ed Norton plays a congenial Pete Seeger, Boyd Holbrook pulls off a moderately convincing Johnny Cash, and Scoot McNairy plays Dylan's hero - an aging/dying Woody Guthrie.
The way fans, The Newport Folk Festival, and the media can turn on their former beloved star is kind of sickening. Dylan did well doing whatever the F&%# he wanted, instead of listening to his critics.
