New York, early 1960s. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement and, refusing to be defined, makes a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide. Timothée Chalamet stars and sings as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, the electric true story behind the rise of one of the most iconic singer-songwriters in history.

Critics Consensus: Charged by Timothée Chalamet's electric performance, this ballad of Bob Dylan might not get under the enigmatic artist's skin but will make you feel like you've spent time in his company.

Reviews

Rogers TV

Eric Marchen

For someone who redefines lyric writing, breaking the mould never to be pigeonholed, nothing about the plain repackaging taps into Dylan’s frequency.

A well-acted, but shallow, undercooked and sugar-coated biopic.

New York Magazine/Vulture

Alison Willmore

The wonder of A Complete Unknown isn’t just that it manages to be good anyway but that it finds an angle on Dylan as unexpectedly electric as that amplified Newport set.

Mangold, Chalamet, and the rest of the cast bring what could have been a dusty time capsule of a movie to life.

The Inlander (Spokane, WA)

Josh Bell

It still feels like little more than an illustrated Wikipedia entry, despite some strong supporting performances and a decent eye for period detail.
