First, Bob Dylan is the centerpiece of this movie. The fact that he plays a character similar to himself named "Jack Fate" ought to be enough to bring back your lunch. Dylan stands in the middle of an extraordinary cast as they all speak to him and around him, without him - thankfully - participating in the dialogue. While this is better than him opening his mouth more, it makes for a really choppy and incoherent movie.
The cast is nothing less than incredible, but with so many top tier actors, what do you do with all of them? Answer - make roles for them. This leads to a contrived plot, no character development, and the viewer wondering what the hell is going on. It is actually painful.
Having said that, if you are a huge Dylan fan, you should not miss this because he and his band play quite of bit during the movie. Unfortunately, while I think the old Dylan was powerful, what is left of him is not worth wasting your time on.
Go see a different movie.
