Masked and Anonymous

See it in one glorious shot, grab as much from it as you can and run like hell. I say that not because I hated Masked & Anonymous, but because I loved it.

A fascinating, vexing, indulgent, visionary, pretentious, mesmerizing pop culture curio.

Requires tremendous restraint not to conclude that this entertainingly apocalyptic mess is about nothing, since it may well be about everything. But I doubt it.

The film strains for some kind of meaning, but asks you to do the work it can't and won't perform on its own.

After a zippy first hour, the wackos wear out their welcome and the director, perversely, fails to show the big concert.

A nearly complete and total disaster.

An incomprehensible Bob Dylan vanity project that is not only nearly impossible to sit through, but embarrasses a long list of stars who lined up to work for scale opposite the legendary musician.
