I know this was discussed already in one of the giant threads, but I just saw it last night.
The first three hours were all right, but the last five hours kind of dragged for me.
What? It wasn't 8 hours long? It sure felt like it was.
I get it, can't pin down Dylan! Okay.
But pretty early on it occurred to me that this is the way a movie about Bukowski should be made. With all the different parts of his self-created mythology represented by different actors.
Anyway, that really was a great idea for a biographical movie. It just should have been about Bukowski. Or someone - anyone - more interesting than Bob Dylan. I love a lot of Dylan's (older) music. But an interesting character he is not.
