This is why I love the WOW Report:
Frankly, this movie, I'm Not There: Suppositions on a Film Concerning Bob Dylan, seems like another of [Todd Haynes'] pretentious and boring, overrated conceits that will stink up the screen but wow critics because critics always appreciate the sleep Haynes' films afford them in the midst of their hectic screening schedules. They can rant positively about his films because they've had delightful naps and may have actually dreamed another movie entirely.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Actually I have, but it's nice to be validated by others.
And that whole sleeping during screenings thing? Totally happened to me when I had to write up Velvet Goldmine. Prettiness and Ewanness aside, I still hated it!
