I feel this way about I'm Not There. I don't understand it, but I'm also convinced there's a lot of smoke and mirrors to cover up that the film didn't really have anything to say...that there's really nothing underneath to understand (but then I have similar suspicions for a lot of Dylan's work lol). A friend asked me if it's a good movie last weekend, took me some time to answer her.
