The film contains more than its share of dead weight, but it is seldom genuinely dull.

A metonymic sprawl characterizes Renaldo & Clara.

It all looks pretty silly. The concert footage is all right, but the in-between stuff just has to go.

The film can be recommended only for die-hard Dylan fans with a lot of spare time on their hands.

To sit through this film you need to be a Bob Dylan film. If you are then it's worth the viewing otherwise it'll be confusing and boring. Watch for the rose being passed to the next person who is going to speak.
