A Complete Unknown

Truly amazing. Its put some light on Bob Dylen life , that actually try to keep his life unknown. Timothy was brilliant. Love this!

The era was captured tremendously well. The pace was nice and brisk, it suited the easy going nature of Dylan perfectly. And the music was fantastic too. Chalamet's dominance continues.

A Complete Unknown wastes no time in showcasing Timotheé Chalamet's voice as the iconic Bob Dylan. With it's vast musical numbers that are performed throughout, it somehow manages to waste any potential of being one of the great biopic due to a lacklustre story. I can't fault Chalamet as Dylan. His voice and mannerisms are fantastic to see on screen. And in the more dramatic moments of the movie (which there are hardly any of) he does a fine job. Edward Norton is also splendid as a sort of mentor character attempting to guide Dylan along the way. The setting of the mid 60s and the cinematography to back it up was beautiful and definitely made the movie feel older than it was. I think my main issue was that the story only really focuses on Dylan's crossover from acoustic to electric, and the backlash he receives from that. Yes there are moments in the movie to do with his love life and friendship's in that time frame as well, but it simply didn't do enough to keep me wanting to stay engaged. Overall it was a fine movie. Not the greatest musical biopic ever but decent enough. 6/10

No one would be blown away if the actual people had sung as uninspringly as the actors do in this film. If the original singers’ voices had been dubbed I would have had more patience with the standard biopic cliches and manufactured story.

All-Time American singer-songwriter Mr. Bob Dylan is beautifully captured in the musical drama film, "A Complete Unknown," starring Timothee Chalamet and Edward Norton. What became a controversial and epic transition from the often simple melody folk sound, to the raw and radical use of electric instruments, the timeframe of the story takes us on a journey from the early to mid-1960s, including Dylan's discovery and signing with Columbia Records, romantic endeavors, notably a significant one with Joan Baez, and his ultimate raging against industry expectations. Simply put, Chalamet crushed. With production primarily delayed by the pandemic, he was able to dedicate and immerse himself in the role, learning to sing (he sang all the songs featured in the film) and play the related instruments, clearly and definitively earning his nomination for Best Actor. The humans and stories that inspired and fueled A Complete Unknown are a prerequisite and/or rite of passage to understand an important period in the Annals of American History. I say watch, learn, and enjoy as a result.

I'm a fan. Loved the movie.

Very good performance. I loved the music and the backstory. I think it captures the musical genius and enigma that Bob Dylan remains to this day

A Complete Unknown was released in 2024 but I unfortunately didn't see it until it dropped onto streaming. Timothee Chalamet stars as the iconic Bob Dylan in what is basically an origin story starting from his arrival in New York and ending during his transition to electric guitar, which apparently was an issue for some of his fans. First and foremost Chalamet is excellent and carries the movie with his acting and singing; yes he sings and is quite good at it. Edward Norton is also quite good as Pete Seeger, in fact the whole cast is great. Honestly, the story was engaging, the acting and music were great, sure some events were changed here and there but most of the movie is quite accurate. This is just an entertaining movie overall and is highly recommended.

Visually beautiful, great performances and music. Some clunky dialog that could have been more subtly written. As a Dylan fan, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Has me thinking about the women who allowed him to get away with a lot of self-serving behavior.

LOVED THIS MOVIE. GREAT MUSIC
