Rachel Williams in The Guardian reports critics raving and tipping Cate Blanchett, who plays Dylan in his mid-‘60s peak, for an Oscar.

The film will have very limited distribution – initially screening in only four US cinemas. The Dylan Daily would be very surprised if much wider distribution wasn’t being planned at this very moment.
