The Ballad of AJ Weberman is a curious dive into the life of a man who took obsession to an extreme. This documentary captures AJ's peculiar fixation on Bob Dylan, blending interviews and archival footage with a raw, almost uncomfortable intimacy. The pacing is uneven, which feels fitting for a subject like Weberman—sometimes meandering, but always revealing. The themes of obsession and identity are explored through his bizarre, often chaotic lifestyle, and there's a certain grit to the presentation that feels genuine. Weberman himself is a character, and his strange blend of genius and madness makes for a compelling watch. It's not every day you encounter someone who invented Garbology, right? Overall, it’s a fascinating portrait of fandom gone awry.
