i can understand and appreciate what Haynes intends for I'm Not There, but it's clear that realization is a bit beyond his grasp; scenes and segments are successful (Cate Blanchett's turn as Dylan Abroad is every bit as bravura as it ought to be) but overall the thing churns and lurches, overstaying its welcome despite the fact that there's no real story to be told. it's a strange, creative tribute to a strange, creative man, but it's also an unnecessarily minor detour for Haynes.
