Critics Consensus: Unintelligible and self-indulgent Bob Dylan vehicle.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

Had I caught this atrocity back in 2003 when it was initially released, it would have seriously challenged The Cat in the Hat and Bad Boys II for one of the top spots on my 10 Worst list.

Bloated by self-regard, Masked and Anonymous is the essence of the self-aggrandizing benefit concerts it weakly parodies.

Film Comment Magazine

Amy Taubin

Dylan does about a dozen songs with his tight juke-joint band, and it's worth sitting through the rest of the nonsense for both the music and for Jeff Bridges, in Fisher King mode as Dylan's nemesis.

An ego-maniacal and purely vain ode to Dylan who attempts to make himself larger than life amidst these cameos of great actors.

Only the scenes of Dylan on stage really hold the attention.
