Ladies, and gentlemen, on Christmas Day of this past year, we received yet another movie biopic of a musical artist like with Bohemian Rhapsody, and Rocket Man, which were about Queen, and Elton John respectively. This time, we got one that revolves around the one, and only Bob Dylan. So now, let’s discuss the film about him, A Complete Unknown.
Plot: The film revolves around Bob Dylan (portrayed by Timothee Chalamet), and how he rose to fame in the music industry.
Well, even though this film, like some of the other previous biopics, had some sad, and depressing moments at times, A Complete Unknown did seem to feel more uplifting this time around. I mean, come on, this is a biopic about someone who made big hits like “Serve Somebody”, for crying out loud. And if you don’t remember how that song goes, well, just go, and listen to it. Anyway, I will also say that this movie did great with showing a lot of Bob Dylan’s life. Again, I won’t say much about that, so that more people will want to see this film. Anyway, this movie does a great job portraying Bob Dylan’s life, from some of the music that he began writing, his, let’s just say, interesting love life, his struggles, and more. Also, there was also the casting. Wow, the casting was awesome, with Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, and Timothee Chalamet as the main character himself, Bob Dylan. Man, seeing him cast as Bob Dylan was most definitely genius. I mean seeing him in more serious films like the action Dune series, as well as letting himself be in more fairly lighthearted roles like the character of Wonka in last year’s Wonka, and now this film where he sings once again, wow, that is actually cool, wouldn’t you say? There is also some really great comedy at unexpected moments in this film too. Honestly, the one thing that definitely could have made this film a little better would be that A Complete Unknown probably could have benefited a little more by showing more of Bob Dylan’s childhood before he became an adult, and became a famous name in the music industry.
And that’s my review for A Complete Unknown. If you haven’t seen this film, I would highly recommend that you do. I think that people who have enjoyed movies with Timothee Chalamet will love this film, as will those who love biopics with music, and enjoy comedies, and people like them. This film is also more of a fun biopic film than some of the previous ones that we’ve had in recent years. All said, definitely see A Complete Unknown, if you haven’t yet. Definitely guaranteed that you’ll enjoy it!
Final Rating: 9.5/10 ⭐️
