Timothée Chalamet shines, but James Mangold's 'A Complete Unknown' is really about living in the shadow of a legend like Bob Dylan.

Chalamet's performance as Dylan captures the folk icon's elusive, shape-shifting essence, but the film is more interested in the lives of those around him.
Mangold delivers a thoughtful meditation on the burden of being associated with a cultural titan, as the supporting characters grapple with their own unrealized dreams and unfulfilled potential.
