The Ultimate Dylan 
2008-01-12
Great substance, wonderful direction, and you can just feel a closeness
with Mr Dylan that no other project comes close to.
Baffling Omission 
2007-12-08
A great documentary, except for one glaring and baffling omission: the film does not even mention "The Times They are a-Changin'," either the song or the album. How can you make a documentary about the early years of Dylan's career, but not even mention this landmark work. It's arguably the most significant topical song Dylan ever wrote, not to mention the song most associatied with Dylan's role as "voice of a generation," and a centerpiece of his performances from 1963-66 (he opened most shows with this song).
Was there some legal reason that this was omitted? Very strange.
Gift, gift, gift... 2007-10-24
I sent this to my dad for Christmas last year as a stocking stuffer. I did not get to see it, but my dad went on and on about how great it was. Takes him down memory lane, and Dylan was such a revolutionary musician. He was so enthralled he went out and bought hard to find Dylan albums, and went to see him in concert recently in Indiana. Like I said, I didn't see it, but my father loved it.
Bob Dylan - No Direction Home 2007-10-21
A MUST HAVE for those who are either Dylan fans or have an interest in his music and poetry.
He was only a kid... 2007-10-06
... and we, barely more than toddlers, worshipped him. Memorized his lyrics so well, we could sing them stupid drunk. We wrang drops of meaning out of the dishrag. Incredible documentary. The best yet. Yes, it was an astounding life, time, rise to fame, reshaping of American music of many generes, but for what good end? You gotta serve somebody. You gotta serve somebody... he was just a freeking kid. How many songs really meant nothing? like "When The Ship Comes In?" written in "retaliation" over a refused hotel room. Yet we swallowed it all.
No Direction Home 2008-07-19
I enjoyed this sometimes long but very entertaining documentary on Bob Dylan. If, like me, you are interested in his early days, up to the time of his motorcycle accident, then you will find it, as I did, riveting. It covers his best albums, Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61, Blond on Blond and the early folk stuff. The interviews with Dylan and his contemporaries are very revealing.
A must for the Dylan fans.
Interesting and Informative 2008-04-01
I only ever knew a few of his songs but knew little about him or his actual impact on music in america and the world back in the 60's. Very talented man and some great music too.
What a great film 2008-03-05
I loved this movie! So much information, put together in such an interesting way. Martin Scorsese really gathered, and made, the perfect footage to tell about Bob Dylan's amazing life. And Dylan is a great interviewee. I was so entertained, I am just glad that it had two parts.
For Dylan Fans only 2008-02-15
This is not enjoyable reading for just anyone; but I bought it as a gift and it was VERY well received ... by a Dylan Fan.
Worth seeing more than once for sure. 2008-01-19
I am not a Bob Dylan fan but this dvd is so interesting and insightful that you can't help but be a fan after watching it and to then share it with others. It is also just a nice movie to play to hear the music of not only his but other passionate musicians.
