A Complete Unknown
Directed by James Mangold
De 19-jarige Bob Dylan arriveert in 1961 in New York City op zoek naar zijn held, de zieke Woody Guthrie. Hij wordt omarmd door de New Yorkse folkscene (Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez en anderen) die zijn talent erkennen. Hij vindt optredens in clubs in de binnenstad en wordt al snel een sensatie en krijgt een contract bij Columbia Records. Van daaruit stijgt Dylan op naar de status van een cultureel fenomeen, maar uiteindelijk stapt hij over van de volksmuziek terwijl hij de elektrische gitaar omarmt, wat zijn fans in verwarring brengt en de muziekgemeenschap die hem voor het eerst opnam teleurstelt.
Where to Watch A Complete Unknown
A Complete Unknown Ratings & Reviews
- Michael Surber29 maart 2025Utterly fantastic. Timothee Chalumet absolutely nails Bob Dylan here but he is surrounded by a stellar cast in this one. If you know your music history, this biopic hits all the highlights of his rise to fame. Do not miss it. Even if you aren't a fan already, it is still the best way to spend your next 2+ hours. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
- Scott Seifert16 maart 2025Good movie even if it’s 30 minutes too long.
- Jeff Espinoza31 maart 2025I knew nothing about Bob Dylan before watching this and still don’t feel like I know Bob Dylan after watching this. I have no idea what he believed, where he came from or why he makes music. I left feeling indifferent towards him and his music.
- Nick D.18 januari 2026Just another biography movie
- My Account11 januari 2026It was a video compilation of great Dylan songs. Was there a story other than a movement from scene to scene with another song.
- parktool692 april 2025He was silly
- S Jöhansson27 februari 2025Not usually a fan of biopics, but this one is very very good—well-cast and beautifully executed. Timothée Chalamet and Edward Norton deserve Oscar nods (and maybe even Norton over Chalamet)
- benjr663 december 2025Spectacular biopic on a brilliant musician and poet. Must see.
- tmcgi22 november 2025Outstanding. Amazing portrait of Dylan.
- cultfilmliker4 maart 2025So was Bob Dylan NOT on heroin this whole time!? I took everything at face value and didn’t hate it but music biopics are so cliché it’s gotta have something pretty spectacular or at least unique about it nowadays. Just feels like a tough project with the selected cast and characters. That said, I do think the entire supporting cast does a very good job with what they’re given. However, I don’t think Mangold does anything exceptional tho he is adept. Timothee sings great and does a great impersonation but I can’t help but feel Cate Blanchett may have done it better. A nice ending but it doesn’t fully redeem a lackluster film imo
- qmechan6 maart 2025Chalamet plays Dylan with flair And a grounded performance. How rare! From folk superstar to electric guitar But he lost out to Brody. Unfair?
- Atronix.18 september 2025I love movies, particularly when they make sense and are done well. I watch them all the time, some more than once, few, more than that. This is one of the latter. I bought only two movies to keep forever in the last two decades. This movie is one of them. I think that says it all.
- dstigue12 september 2025Great acting. Think it captured the time well enough.
- saverio874 september 2025Elle Fanning top
- Rick Masters11 juni 2025Well it turns out tonight has been a night of discovery… Firstly, the realisation that I know only ONE Bob Dylan song (and it played for all of 10 seconds) and Secondly.. I now know WHY I only know one Bob Dylan song… They’re all dog shit.
