This biopic follows Bob Dylan (Chalamet)'s meteoric rise to fame after being picked from obscurity. He shows up in New York with nothing but dreams and a guitar in 1961, hoping to meet his hero Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy). Instead, he finds himself caught between two worlds: his new romance with the sharp-witted Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning), and the folk music scene that's about to make him famous.

By 1965, he's tired of being the poster boy for protest songs and folk music. While the scene that made him famous wants him to stay in his lane, Dylan's got other plans like plugging in an electric guitar and rocking out. It all comes to a head at the Newport Folk Festival, where he decides to do just that.

The cast is filled with familiar faces playing iconic greats like Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez. And though the film is based on 2015's biography "Dylan Goes Electric!" by Elijah Wald, it's more than just an adaptation and encompasses plenty of Dylan's life to make it worth watching even for fans who think they know it all.
