Perhaps the secret to modern-day success in the entertainment business is to name your project the opposite of what you want to happen to it. Example: the top-rated new series on Netflix in 2024 was called “Nobody Wants This.” There’s also this new indie movie distributed through Searchlight called “A Complete Unknown,” and despite that name, knowledge of its existence is rapidly becoming common. So is the Oscar buzz. The title itself is referring to its subject, Bob Dylan…one of the most iconic rock and roll artists of all time, and certainly not an unknown person. Yet there was a time when nobody knew who Dylan was. He arrived in 1961 New York at just nineteen, hailing from Minnesota, and knew no one. As luck would have it, he would not only land bigger and bigger gigs but form friendships along the way with other future music stars, like Pete Seeger and Joan Baez. Timothée Chalamet stars as Bob Dylan, alongside Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.

Honestly, the title is a bit of a misnomer. Everyone knows who Bob Dylan is. This movie seems more like a biopic than a mystery. Still, I'm intrigued by the cast. Chalamet is a force, and Norton is always a welcome presence. I'll wait for the Blu-ray, though. I prefer the big screen experience for movies like this.

Eight Oscar nominations? This film sounds like a must-see! I'm a huge Dylan fan, and Chalamet is an incredible actor. The supporting cast is phenomenal too. I'm excited to see how they capture the essence of that era. I'll definitely be watching this on digital release and picking up the Blu-ray for my collection.

I like Bob Dylan, but I’m not sure I buy Timothée Chalamet in the role. He’s talented, no doubt, but does he have that raw, unconventional charisma that made Dylan stand out? I’ll give it a shot, though, because James Mangold knows how to handle musical biopics. Walk the Line was excellent, so I’m hopeful this won’t be the usual sanitized rock star origin story.

What interests me most about this film is its focus on Dylan’s early years in New York. That’s such a fascinating time in folk music history, with all these legendary artists crossing paths before they became famous. If they capture that era accurately, this could be something special. I hope they don’t just gloss over the real struggles and contradictions of the folk scene back then.
