“A Complete Unknown” is an electrifying biopic that captures the early years of Bob Dylan, and Timothée Chalamet delivers a transformative performance as the young musician.
The film follows Dylan’s rise from a 19-year-old aspiring singer-songwriter in New York to a revolutionary force in the music world, culminating in his controversial shift to electric music at the Newport Folk Festival. Directed by James Mangold, the film uses Dylan’s songs not just as a soundtrack but as the narrative’s emotional backbone.
In my review, I discuss why Chalamet could win the Oscar for Best Actor, the brilliant storytelling that captures character through the lens and the reverberating message that will inspire audiences.
