A Complete Unknown Reviews
Maybe a conventional biopic is the ultimate unpredictable Dylan bit, a misdirection home that reveals little but enshrines the myth. No wonder he endorsed it.
"In short, although visually accomplished, the film lacks the boldness necessary to capture the complexity of its subject." [Full review in Spanish]
This film struggles to balance the conventional notes of a music biopic with the singer’s shapeshifting artistry.
It was a tiny bit corny, but any period biopic like this is going to feel a bit like “Forrest Gump.” You play spot-the-famous-person and judge their resemblance to their real-life counterpart, and they parade through real historical events.
The intimate, tight close-ups during the musical numbers are effective, bringing us face-to-face with Chalamet as he sings. You can almost feel the vibrations in his throat, as if the very essence of Dylan’s voice is pouring out through the screen.
For anyone out there that still thinks that Timothée Chalamet is a flash in the pan in regards to acting talent, it’s time to wake up – this is a performance that solidifies Chalamet’s acting chops.
“A Complete Unknown” is perfectly enjoyable, although it sometimes feels more like a glorified concert than a movie – something Mangold, who is particularly wonderful at staging a performance for the screen, can sort of get away with.
Timothée Chalamet gives it all, but the emotional core of the film remains as elusive as Dylan himself. [Full review in Spanish]
Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton singe the screen in beautiful but anodyne musical drama
You don’t need an excuse to drag out your old Dylan records, but don’t be surprised if after watching this you do a deep dive into the catalogue.
The screenplay...can be too on the nose, particularly in its handling of historical context...Overall, however, the filmmakers steer clear of the usual musical biopic hagiography by taking a deliberate and bracing distance from their subject.
The Newport climax threatens to be a bit of a letdown, until the performances start. The opening piano chords to "Like A Rolling Stone" still give you chills 60 years after they first dropped. And the look of betrayal on those beatniks' faces...beautiful.
The picture, with its protagonist who did not want to fit the typical music star image, carries us along on a journey of ups and downs, always emphasizing the power of music.
Unfortunately, while the film has elements to explore far beyond the obvious,...it only accomplishes what is necessary. [Full review in Spanish]
Mangold develops a very straight laced portrait of the artist as a young man in this biopic on Bob Dylan's early days, but Chalamet, who is flanked by charming co-stars Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro, channels the restless, contrarian energies of...
French actor Thimothee Chalamet skillfully slips into the shoes of the genius, transmitting Dylan’s spirit in his twenties and conveying not only his elusive personality but also his enigmatic charm.
The whole formation of the film is impeccable, but I think that putting all of the meat on the grill in terms of form makes us really lose a depth in A Complete Unknown. [Full review in Spanish]
A near perfect biopic. The screenplay gives a great insight into the early career of Bob Dylan and doesn't overlook the darker aspects. Timothee Chalamet is brilliant as Dylan while Boyd Holbrook almost steals the show as Johnny Cash.
Ultimately, the film is as reverent as it is frustrating. It celebrates Dylan’s artistry but struggles to illuminate the man behind the myth.
Chalamet’s performance is a success, a real feat of acting in which he thoroughly inhabits Dylan-ness without slipping into parody
