Feeling a bit mislead about "I'm Not There"

Under discussion:

I'm Not There  (2007)

I'm Not There has a synopsis that states the movie features Bob Dylan played by different actors focusing on "various stages of his remarkable career."  My expectations were one...that different actors would actually be playing Bob Dylan and two...that even though the timeline of the movie might not completely be sequential, I'd still come away with a more holistic view of the life of Bob Dylan. My expectations were not met. First, out of a total of six actors, only two of them seemed to be playing Bob Dylan. Perhaps the others were supposed to represent the various sides of Dylan's psyche, but I didn't get them. And then the way the movie was cut, I kept on waiting for the various scenes to eventually connect on some level, but they didn't. Overall, I left confused thinking that perhaps I don't know Dylan or his music enough to get the abstract storytelling in this film.
