A Complete Unknown Review: Timothée Chalamet Shines in One-Note Biopic
ComingSoon.netStory by Jonathan Sim
scrn logline
Timothée Chalamet delivers a standout performance, but a flat storyline and lack of emotional resonance make this Bob Dylan biopic a generic retread.
beat sheet
- Chalamet's spot-on portrayal of Dylan's voice, accent, and mannerisms is a highlight, showcasing his talent as a leading man.
- The decision to feature live musical performances without an overpowering score allows Dylan's vocals to shine, but the film ultimately falls flat in delivering a compelling narrative.
