A Complete Unknown

Please see this movie. I saw it yesterday and would love to talk about it. I dragged my husband "kicking and screaming" to see it with me. "I'm only doing this for you," he said. At the end of the movie he said "One of the best movies ever."

The screenwriter, editor and director wove history, music and relationships from the 1961 to 1966 time period in a perfect way.

Let's talk.

Singing and playing the guitar and harmonica. A beautiful early musical tour of Dylan. It absolutely should win some awards.

Timothee did a great job with his vocals and singing and acting. I loved all the other actors as well. Particularly the ones that played other singers of the time. My husband liked the two women who played Dylan's mates.

I thought it was spectacular. Chalamet nails Dylan in an almost eerie way. His performance comes across as totally natural and not an imitation in the way musical biopics tend to portray their stars. It was really well done and I look forward to watching it again. For fans, there are a hundred Easter eggs throughout the film adding to the feeling of authenticity.

at times Chalamet was playing Dylan so well I couldn't understand what he was saying. I'm going to watch it when it gets streamed so I can get all the words I missed.

Watch Edward Norton's interview on Stephen Colbert. He could not gush more about Timothee's performance.

Saw it Christmas day and loved it. It brought back a lot of memories. I did not like some factual discrepancies beginning with Suze Rotolo's name not being used and Dylan being called a Judas at the Newport Folk Festival. I read the reviews and explanations as to why but still would've preferred accuracy. That said, still loved it and would see it again.
