      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.

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      A strange and convoluted film that is as rewarding as a Dylan song, and just as perplexing.

      Rolling Stone

      It's only when the film attempts to express its ideas in spoken English that logic dissolves into a muddle that would test the most rabid Dylanologist.

      Entertainment Weekly

      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.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      A messy, ambitious comedy.

      Dallas Observer

      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.

      Austin Chronicle

      Bob Dylan might have been wrong when he sang that "there’s no success like failure, and failure’s no success at all." His new movie, although a complete narrative mess, is a thoroughly Dylanesque escapade.

      Though Dylan shuffles through the dramatic sequences like a dessicated mummy, the music sequences are strikingly vibrant -- he's never looked worse or sounded better.
