This movie is good but in a weird way.

I recently watched I'm not there and this movie isn't done in a way that really makes sense sometimes or flows, but after the first 10 minutes you really understand what is happening.This movie has differen't stories from differen't characters... Full review

Aluísio Parondi - imdb.com
Todd Haynes ("Velvet Goldmine", "Far from Heaven") created a non-linear, truly original film, that must be seen by every Bob Dylan lover. Haynes's tapestry is "inspired by the music and lives of Bob Dylan" - he introduces us to 6... Full review

Take all the music, everything you've heard, read, seen in documentaries about Bob and throw them in a blender and pull them out and what you get is "I'm not there" And it's a tasty concoction of a movie that... Full review
Amazing! (Dylan's not there)

Mick Gold - imdb.com
This film amazed me. One reason it worked for me is because it's drenched in Dylan's music. I wasn't expecting that. Most of the time, it's Dylan's voice when 'Blind Willie McTell' or 'Moonshiner' or 'Idiot Wind' (the slow, acoustic... Full review

Todd Haynes' I'm Not There is a genuinely visionary work of art; ostensibly a biopic of Bob Dylan, Haynes has actually made seven different short movies, each with its own precise cinematic language, which have then been carefully interwoven to... Full review

I just returned from viewing this film at the New York film festival, and I must say it potentially Haynes' best film to date. By abstracting from a conventional biopic, the film captures the essence of Dylan. The different actors... Full review
A film biography that's complex, like its subject
Oct 03, 2007
Chris Knipp - imdb.com
Haynes' adventurous biopic of Bob Dylan, which uses six actors of both sexes and several races ranging in ages from 11 to 50, is both exhausting and fun to watch. It's also hard to describe. But let's start with those... Full review

Saw this at the Toronto Film Festival. I really liked it, although maybe the Richard Gere scenes are the one's to skip, though it's not really his fault. Cate Blanchett is getting a lot of buzz for her performance, and... Full review

'I'm Not There' Todd Haynes, 2007The biopicture can be a difficult kind of picture to picture. Even more so when you have no intention of divulging the name of your subject. And dare I say it, yet further still when... Full review

It strikingly demonstrates Blanchett's chameleon ability. A performance by Cate Blanchett so convincing and intense that you shrink back in your seat when she fixes you with her gaze," Gates' quote reads. ... Full Review

Newsday
But "I'm Not There" also takes its audience across a Rubicon of moviegoing disillusionment, apathy and sloth: If you are, as you say, so tired of the old, then here is the new. Since premiering at this fall's Venice and Toronto festivals, there has been carping among the critical mass about the Richard Gere episode, which is, OK, a little slow-going. ... Full Review

Toronto Star
It works better on the double-disc DVD, where Haynes gets a chance to explain his creative logic. Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Ben Whishaw and Marcus Carl Franklin all have a shot at interpreting the legend, with varying degrees of success and verisimilitude. ...
