Strange if unsurprising absence of Dylan's first wife Sara. Also, The Beatles (albeit the Kinks get approvingly namechecked). And would've been good to see some Phil Ochs tussles, although a heart-tug to hear his "There But For Fortune" achingly done by this film's Joan Baez.

Edward Norton endearing, while poignant, as poor Pete Seeger - and yet Elle Fanning, like her "Silvie"/Suze, felt a little too unfairly sidelined. More caveats: Some music biopic cliches, and fuzziness with facts (as per "carnival boy" Bobby Zimmerman). Oh, and: why only "Play it [...] loud"?
