Despite its promise to find fact in fiction, the movie’s made-up characters offer little in the way of ecstatic truths, but there’s a moment when Stefan van Dorp says he realized that the way to keep Dylan from clamming up was to never ask him a direct question. Rolling Thunder Revue leaves it to us to ask the questions, or just sit back and enjoy the show.

This is an immersive experience, like being plunged back into the 70s. There is passion there. No matter how chaotic or bleary things get, no one is in any doubt that the music counts.

This film presents the viewer with a whimsical yet intimate look at a singular artist during a unique time in American history. If you’re a fan of Bob, this one sits right up there alongside No Direction Home, I’m Not There, and Dont Look Back.

Rolling Thunder Revue is a brilliant rock doc because it doesn’t take itself too seriously and because it recognizes that rock and roll is a kingdom built on borrowed threads and fudged facts.

With Rolling Thunder Revue, Scorsese remains at the top of his game, and is the perfect filmmaker to tell the story of a unique chapter in the life and career of a fellow creative legend.

A rambling magic trick of a movie that reanimates a hazy chapter of American history by unmooring it from the facts of its time, and even perhaps from time itself.

Scorsese is the Bob Dylan of cinema – poetic, truthful, idiosyncratic – and Rolling Thunder, despite some longueurs, is an important document of a major artist – by a major artist.

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story is one of the most frustrating Martin Scorsese films as well as one of the most out-of-character.

This is a brilliant look at one of rock music's legendary tours. In 1975 Bob Dylan, who was then making some of the best music in his career, led a rollicking troupe of performers on a tour of mostly smaller venues in the northeast US and into Canada. The group included Joni Mitchell (then at her beautiful best), Allen Ginsberg, Scarlet Rivera, Roger McGuinn, and others. Somebody shot some footage of this and Martin Scorsese made a movie out of it 45 years later. It is not a straight documentary tho; there is a bogus German filmmaker who was supposedly leading the filming (you even hear his voice at times in the scenes), and actor Michael Murphy appears as a fictional congressman. The music is awesome even if the camera work is not. But what I really want to know is why did Dylan and Rivera go their separate ways? They were a brilliant team, and after her departure Dylan hardly ever worked with a violinist again.

Not a big fan of Bob Dylan and is not one of Scorsese's best documentaries but I liked it. I mean it's music and it's Scorsese, so since the beginning I was going to be there no matter what and in all honesty it was a good informative ride Netflix sometimes does things right.
