60 of 208 · most liked firstI actually cried during the first 10 mins of "A Complete Unknown." And the only other time I've ever cried in the first 10 mins of a movie was when I accidentally paid to see "Avatar" in 2D.

unlabelledView post →The climax of “A Complete Unknown” is set during Bob Dylan's iconic 1965 performance at the Newport Folk Festival. The film plays fast and loose with the timeline but gets across the sense of pandemonium and conflict. Here's what happened. nyti.ms/4grS6KO

unlabelledView post →This Dylan devotee (an understatement, trust me) went to the world premiere of A Complete Unknown last night, and I'm here to tell you Timothée Chalamet was extraordinary. The movie was like a time machine. You're there watching Bob Dylan happen.

unlabelledView post →Just watched A Complete Unknown. It struck me right away that Guthrie, Seeger, and Dylan were Resisters, and I’d forgotten. “This Machine Kills Fascists” the sticker on Guthrie’s guitar. Apart from it being a great movie, it’s CURRENT. The messages of the lyrics, profound. Artists RISE.

unlabelledView post →for my last piece of 2024, I wrote about A Complete Unknown, a Bob Dylan movie that's really about the people around him, a portrait of genius that can be experienced but never really understood.
unlabelledView post →Great to see the Bob Dylan ‘A Complete Unknown’ film doing so well… I hope anyone who sees it will go home and trawl through archive footage of him. Nothing better than the real thing!

unlabelledView post →Just going by titles, I honestly can't be bothered to remember the difference between A Complete Unknown, A Different Man and Better Man and it's probably funnier if I never enlighten myself. Movie titles are falling into the generic studio era blandness "Love Me Tonight/Tomorrow/Now"
unlabelledView post →editing a pod episode about A Complete Unknown and how it didn't really get into the politics so I'm hoping Mangold's next movie that depicts the life of Johnny Cash recreates this interview with The Highwaymen where Kristofferson and Cash go off youtu.be/gxYk7Ht6-Xk?...
unlabelledView post →Who has seen the new Bob Dylan movie, "A Complete Unknown," which came out in Australia last night? I saw it with a surprisingly small audience at the Cremorne Orpheum, and absolutely LOVED it. So wonderfully done, such superb acting, and such a great story to put on screen!
unlabelledView post →Since no one else has done it yet, I created a playlist of the original versions of every song recreated for A Complete Unknown. I did my best to use the versions that made the most sense, though some of this is intuitive since the film plays around with the timelines of the songs a bit
unlabelledView post →Joan Baez fans watching A COMPLETE UNKNOWN.
unlabelledView post →well, I wrote about A Complete Unknown for Hagerty - partly a review of the film, partly about the intersecting history of '60s music and motorcycles + cars
unlabelledView post →The biggest surprise in the Bob Dylan movie "A Complete Unknown" is at the end when Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan looks directly into the camera and says "Oh well, I guess I'm a rolling stone then," winks, and jumps on the back of a giant sandworm.
unlabelledView post →Tonight we are going to see A Complete Unknown, the movie about Bob Dylan. Not a huge Dylan fan, but I love all things music and that Timothée Chalamet is something else. Plus, I hear Johnny Cash makes an appearance. 🔥
unlabelledView post →Just saw A Complete Unknown. Another great movie showcasing Timothee Chalamet’s vocal performance. Highly recommend it.
unlabelledView post →I’m watching A Complete Unknown. It’s very good, Timmy C is superb, but unfortunately I’ve seen the hilarious Weird Al Yankovic movie starring Daniel Radcliffe, and it’s now impossible to watch a music biopic without giggling a little bit

unlabelledView post →I wrote about A Complete Unknown, which is a fine movie about Bob Dylan and a much more interesting one about the people awed and threatened by him.
unlabelledView post →A Complete Unknown: Enjoyed it as I was pulled along by Chalamet’s finely tuned performance & the superb production design. Problem was, I kept thinking how I wanted to rewatch a film about another asshole with a guitar, Llewyn Davis. Just find it more compelling watching failure than success.

unlabelledView post →We went to see the Bob Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown. Holy shit. It is great! Go see it. Tonight. Timothee Challomet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, and Monica Barbaro are all fantastic. Seriously. Go see this movie. Tonight. i.ytimg.com/vi/D2Hv7CEtB...
unlabelledView post →Any sane actor would run away from this assignment. Not Timothée Chalamet, and “A Complete Unknown” is his most ambitious work to date, asking him not only to play insecure-within-a-sneer but also to play and sing 40 songs in Dylan’s unmistakable growl, complete with blustery harmonica.
unlabelledView post →A COMPLETE UNKNOWN is a Bob Dylan movie. How does it feel? I dig into my greatest fear at the movies this year with @chrisryan77.bsky.social and Mallory Rubin on The Big Picture. open.spotify.com/episode/5ven...
unlabelledView post →Just a reminder that the announcement of the four Beatle biopics means that the George movie and A Complete Unknown will ultimately lead to the film Traveling Wilburys Assemble in 2032 as part of the TWU.
unlabelledView post →A Complete Unknown at the cinema earlier didn't disappoint. Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan is captivating, but also Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez deserves high praise. Good film and highly recommend seeing at the cinema.

unlabelledView post →I found the first hour of the Bob Dylan biopic, "A Complete Unknown," to be nearly unwatchable. It's hard to watch a movie when your eyes are filled with tears of joy. (1/?)
unlabelledView post →A COMPLETE UNKNOWN was an excruciating experience of unbearable length. A film that is devoid of any insight or anything interesting to say about its subject. I don't need to go to the movies to watch people dress up and cover popular songs. I have Tiktok. My least favorite film of the year.
unlabelledView post →We loved “A Complete Unknown.” The music is amazing The acting is great. The movie flows. It’s a popular film.

unlabelledView post →I can usually understand conflation and fudging of characters to make biopics work, but has anyone explained what they were thinking with making Pete Seeger’s wife Toshi in A Complete Unknown into a mute sort of Asian ghost, when she was a film and TV producer and organised the Newport festival?

unlabelledView post →A Complete Unknown (2024) dir. James Mangold 🎬 A movie that highlights the kinds of things people used to value and stand up for in America. A love note to a bygone era that serves as a musical mnemonic for the dreamers and the lovers. #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

unlabelledView post →Looking at the 10 films up for Best Picture, most prognosticators can’t pick the winner just yet, in fact you could say it’s “A Complete Unknown” which film will win. It’s a “brutal list” because no matter which film wins, some great films will lose. Right now it’s so close I wouldn’t bet a “nickel”
unlabelledView post →It’s kind of insane how good Norton is in A Complete Unknown. I’d honestly watch a movie just about him and his skinny guitar.

unlabelledView post →Saw “A Complete Unknown” a my fabulous local independent movie theater in Doylestown, PA. Cried during “The Times, They Are A-Changing.”
unlabelledView post →Continuing my series of 'Razzie nominations they should have': there ought to be one for 'best supporting actor who sort of ruins the movie because they're too big for the part': Monica Barbaro in A Complete Unknown, say, or Donald Glover in A Star Wars Story: Han Solo.
