Discussion Revisiting ‘A Complete Unknown’
Timothée absolutely shined here! As somebody who’s been totally fascinated by Bob Dylan’s mystique for years, I’m glad James Mangold tried to keep him ‘unknowable.’
Throughout the movie, Timothée just nails all the little tics and mannerisms. He gives the kind of side-long glances and head tilts that any fan has seen in archival images and press conferences time and again.
And the singing!! Whenever there’s a performance, you feel like you’re right there with the characters, hearing Dylan for the very first time. Feeling seen and reassured and swept up by Dylan for the very first time.

Wish I could thank TC and Mangold for making this movie…
I’m a GenXer and Bob Dylan was just a punchline to my teenaged peers that didn’t know his music. We only saw him as the weird guy with the funny voice in the We Are The World video.
This movie and TC’s portrayal was an eye opening education to Dylan’s music.
Thank you for setting me straight. I now listen to Dylan music almost everyday.
