Where to Watch A Complete Unknown
- Michael Surber29 mars 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.
- cultfilmliker4 mars 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
- vangh13 mars 2025"Everyone asks where the songs come from, but when you watch their faces, they’re not asking where the songs come from. They’re asking why they didn’t come to them.” It's a unique tilt that while this is certainly a Bob Dylan film, it almost feels as much like it's about the people around him and the impact he had on them and the folk movement. The movie goes to great pains to have both Jane & Sylvie note how enigmatic and mysterious Bob is, and the movie doesn't really make any attempt to demystify him in that way, but it works! It is odd that there a couple moments that get a bit of focus and feel that they will portend important plot points (how we open with Pete and the negative ruling against him, a party goer discovering Bob's last name is actually Zimmerman and Sylvie hiding that away) that just end up being seasoning. I must admit I was VERY moved by the performance of <i>The Times They Are A Changin'</i> at Newport '64. I can't even imagine actually being then and there, but this certainly did a commendable job of emulating the experience a bit. Loved Pete's "Parable of the Teaspoon" and how he completely botched its impact immediately thereafter. This movie definitely feels both like a self-contained thing, and a smaller part of a larger story (which it obviously is, given how much Dylan is still yet to come after the events of the movie) but it pulled it off for me. As the credits rolled I didn't feel dissatisfied or wanting.
