Directed by Academy Award nominee James Mangold, A Complete Unknown offers an intimate portrayal of Bob Dylan’s transformative years in the early 1960s. Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet delivers a captivating performance as Dylan, capturing his evolution from a burgeoning folk artist to a cultural icon. The film delves into Dylan’s relationships with contemporaries like Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy), Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro), and Pete Seeger (Edward Norton), whose influence shaped his early sound and whose reaction to Dylan’s electric set at Newport became the stuff of legend.

I actually really enjoyed watching this movie. It was great to see the story of Bob Dylan and how he became a musician. I’ve always enjoyed seeing stories like these that show the life of someone. It’s interesting to see how they got to where they are today, or how their lives were. I thought everyone did an amazing job with this movie. All the actresses and actors were really good, and it made the movie that much more interesting to see. Like I mentioned, I love following stories of anyone, so I knew I was going to enjoy watching this movie. If you are a fan of Bob Dylan, it would be well worth the watch. Definitely a great movie to see.
