"No Direction Home" offers little that is new and much that is already grindingly familiar to fans of His Bobness. And yet it is tremendously watchable and occasionally rewarding, even if it's apt to leave most viewers with the feeling that they have been served appetizers and dessert without getting so much as a glimpse of the main course.

"No Direction Home" isn't moviemaking, it's mythmaking -- albeit of the highest order. It lacks the hurly-burly immediacy of D.A. Pennebaker's 1967 portrait of Dylan on the road, "Dont Look Back," or the Maysles brothers' documentary of the Rolling Stones 1969 tour, "Gimme Shelter." Instead, it settles for the easy conclusions that Dylan once routinely punctured. That said, it's still a fascinating valentine from one artist to another, the most detailed look yet at Dylan's transformation from acoustic folk singer to shades-wearing rocker. [25 Sep 2005, p.C9]

No Direction Home is a soul-stirring Scorsese masterwork. His The Last Waltz, which documented The Band's final concert, is generally considered the big screen's best-ever rock performance film. Now he's outdone himself with a lyrical, magical film rich in both context and subtext. [26 Sep 2005, p.1G]
