I’m not really a fan of Bob Dylan. I’ve got nothing against him or anything, I’ve just never particularly cared for his music with the exception of one song (Make You Feel My Love, and even that is mainly because of Adele). With that being said, Hollywood is relying a little too much on biopics lately, especially this year given 2 not-so-great ones were released early 2024 (Back To Black and Bob Marley: One Love). So when a biopic about Dylan was announced, I was underwhelmed. So on Christmas, the Dylan centered biopic lead by Timothée Chalamet , A Complete Unknown was finally released.
The movie was fine, that’s pretty much it. I wasn’t amazed nor was I disappointed by it. It did what it needed to do, it showed its interpretation of his life and did it relatively decently. Dylan is a very strange dude, that’s my impression of him after watching this movie. I won’t deny that he’s talented, but also very strange, which I think is part of his charm as an artist. Chalamet did a good job, but that’s not really much of a surprise. The only other people who really stood out aside from him were Norton, Fanning, and Barbaro. The music sequences were very good, I honestly was unaware that Chalamet did his own singing. I’m very impressed by that (which says a lot considering I hate when non-singers try to sing). Not really a lot of negatives to be honest.
It’s a decent film, just nothing amazing in my opinion. This is my last review of the year and part 1 of my movies of 2024 will be released most likely next week (or later this week). Thanks For Reading and Happy New Year!
