My Dad and Uncle loved it. My Mom kind of liked it, but had problems with the audio in the Movie Theatre.
I thought it was OK. Just thought it was missing some sort of emotional heft to it. I'm a Dylan fan, but personally thought it was a pretty paint by the numbers account of that time period.
Performances were very good. I actually loved the Johnny Cash portrayal in this movie. Didn't have a ton of screen time, but I thought it was the most interesting performance in the movie.
It was far different then the Joaquin Phoenix version that this same director did years ago, and which I liked a lot, but it was a fun take on Johnny Cash, in a movie that, outside of a few of Dylan's dry humor lines, didn't have very many "fun takes" at all.

Joaqin Phoenix is a wonderful actor but Reese ruined that film for me. I'm not even sure her performance was that bad, it's just her.
