I loved Dylan/McGuinn performing Knockin' On Heaven's Door and everything with Scarlet Rivera.

For those who saw it already, what did you think about the so-called fake additions?

I was spoiled by a headline and I knew going in that there was going to be some trickery or fictional aspects, so I watched it with a suspicious eye, thinking everything could be fake!

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it very much and have seen it twice already. I think it is quite rewatchable.

Will Awards Voters Accept ‘Rolling Thunder Revue’ as a Documentary?

What a ridiculous question. Of course they will. Almost all cinematic docs have fantastical or dramatic or fictional elements or taking artistic licenses in order to tell the real story of their subject.
There`s no such thing as absolute truth when we are talking about docs in cinematic form.
Pfff...Totally amateurish article and superficial analysis from Steve Pond...
