In a year of breakthroughs, vision, and masterpieces comes Todd Haynes follow up to his Oscar -nominated Far From Heaven, I'm Not There. Just a lush with vision as his previous effort, I'm Not There refuses to ever settle for convention as we see Bob Dylan characterized by six different personalities in six different styles of story telling. This film exudes brilliance in just the concept alone, but it is when we see the actors pulling on the masks of Dylan that we see this is so much more than a great concept, but a truly rich cinematic experience that blows Walk the Line and Ray out of the water when it comes to musical biopics. This is most definitely an actor's movie in that each performance elevates the movie higer and higher from its concept and then we see Cate Blanchett's performance and then we witness the movie at its sheer wonderment with her exceptionally channeled delivery of Dylan.
