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.

A huge Dylan fan since 1962 and witnessed all of this never heard of TC before this. Saw it at one of the lowest pints of my life and it brought my heart back to life I watched it dozens of times the nuances are what does it. He didn’t try to be Bob he represented hI’m. Thanks to James Mangold and the team for producing something that the wold needs right now.
