The idea is to represent Bob Dylan's life, music and writings in film, but it's a bit of a mess. The film's searching for a coherent narrative where there probably isn't one. I once saw Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, which had Bob Dylan in a role that looked as if it was written just to get him in the picture, and that was the same.
On the positive side, he's written a lot of songs, mostly made famous by other people. He has a really good taste in music, eclectic, as shown by the radio show that he hosts. It's probably best to judge the man by his music and not what others say of him, or even what he says of himself.
