It's a Billy Corben doc so I'm dying to see it. At first I was blown away I never heard of it, then I realized it was from 2024 and can't find it anywhere online yet which is usually the case with anything smaller scale that goes to a film festival. I followed the case when it happened. Seems like a crazy story.

Congratulations Fernanda Torres on your Golden Globe win !

Your cuteness distracted me away from your review 😅

I really appreciated how the third act changed the tone of the film - it was unpredictable, just like life.

As much as I like Guy Pearce, the character seemed one-dimensional, especially his display of anger when we first see him.

Totally agree regarding Chalamet. He absolutely nailed Dylan, and I, too, forgot I was watching Timothee Chalamet acting as Bob Dylan. I simply saw Bob Dylan onscreen. It was a stunning performance. Loved the movie and have seen it twice already. It is beautifully acted, directed, and produced. Highly recommended. Great review and thanks for sharing. 👊👊

I can honestly say your channel should end up becoming big most underrated review I've seen great job love the review and the movie too 👊

Perish all hope; Nosferatu is the grimmest of grim vampire movies.

the first 20 minutes moved very slowly, in fact I was looking at my watch which I never do, good actors, the story played out kinda boring if I'm honest, now I'm a fan of all things 60's and found that the portrayal of the counter culture elements were weak and almost parody. I wasn't pulled in Dylan fan or not, I actually found it kind of boring. Where was all the other music of the time, surely he was engaged with it also. A light touch on protests and the drug scene (and Dylan's involvement) come on. Could have been better yeah. Dragged alot and yeah too long. A tame movie about nothing - too bad.

I saw this movie on Christmas day and I’ve been looking and listening on KZbin ever since! A big thank you for mentioning Reese Witherspoon, the one that actually won the best actress Oscar for Walk the Line. I’ve seen, read probably ten A Complete Unknown reviews that talk about Joaquin Phoenix’s “Oscar nominated performance.” You are the only one that mentioned her. Back to the current movie, I absolutely loved it and hope to see it again soon. I agree with about everything you said. The time and places were kinda fuzzy, but that was minor. Great review!!

There’s no way they redid baez’s house of the rising sun its a copy and paste of that initial recording

Thank you for this review and for the glowing praise of Timmy. I couldn't agree more! I have been a fan of his for years but was completely floored by this performance. The only thing I would add, which is left out of most other reviews I have watched, is the way the filmmakers did a superb job of illustrating the early 60's. It is obvious that the tremendous events of that time are influencing the artists but I never felt like it was too strongly expressed, just the perfect backdrop which inspired this iconic music. Thanks again. Looking forward to more of your reviews!

Best actor: Chalamet 🎉 Best supporting actor : Norton 😊

Dafoe was the perfect vampire 25 years ago in a not-so-great movie. This movie is definitely better (and definitely different) and your excellent review raises my expectations!

Very nice to hear that this turned out well, considering that you have a particular love for Bob Dylan! I shamefully can’t say that I’m really familiar with Dylan’s work, but I look forward to seeing it anyway. My sister is coming into town later this week so my brother and I will probably go with her to see it.

My man - have you ever heard the record Chrissie Hynde put out a few years back - it was all lesser known Dylan covers - it was AWESOME 😎 I think it was called “Standing at the Doorway”

Have you seen Werner Herzog's Nosferatu?

My favorite Dylan film will forever be the masterful 1967 documentary "Don't Look Back"! Also Mangold's (very) early films ("Heavy" and "Copland") will forever be my favorites! But your review greatly "encourages" (!!!) me to watch it...(also an opportunity to see the "seldom seen" Edward Norton... I wish you good health and keep up the great work on your channel in the new year!

I'm so excited to go see it!

3:20 "it won't win, of course, but it will get nominated" why do you say that? do you think there's any bigger contender for international film? or does this movie just doesn't resonate well with american viewers and doesn't have a chance because of that? the brazilian media is pretty optimistic with this movies' chances

good, in my country only in january, can't wait

Man this was thorough, concise, and I appreciate the constructive criticism too. Thanks for the help!

emilia perez will win oscar because is a french movie for us citizens. it talk about mexico with no mexican in the main cast, all the production is by french. is a worse movie but will win because selena gomez is doing the dinners to buy ppl's votes. nothing new under the sun

A movie about dictatorship promoted by the USA will never win the oscar.

I appreciate hearing real-life stories like this, but I find that they don't always translate to the big screen. At least not in the narrative sense. It's too bad that this wasn't handled better, as it seems like it had some potential to be a pretty solid film.

Literally heard about this film like 2 weeks ago when KZbin recommended the trailer and knew I wanted to see it. I didn't want to do any more research on it and just go in with no expectations. So I bought an 'IMAX 70mm' ticket for AMC @ Lincoln Square which is the only true 70mm in the city. Anyways I got there yesterday evening to find out they weren't even screening it in the 70mm IMAX theatre (the same one where Oppenheimer and Interstellar recently were streamed). Anyways all that to say that despite not having the visual and audio experience the 70MM IMAX theater it was still a great watch. More movies with long run times should have intermissions by the way, those 20ish minutes in between is nice to stretch and run to the bathroom. The pacing and visuals was just perfect, especially in the first half. I think the second half, after the intermission, isn't as strong as the first but I feel like it's a movie I need to watch again to really form an opinion and appreciate everything that went into it. Keep up the good work bro :). Not surprised to see you reviewing movies after film school. This is you in your element!

The shot isn't of the empire state building, it's the statue of liberty. C'mon now

I hope someone admits that the room blew up a years years ago after pewdiepie played the game lol

O pior disso tudo é pensar que em pleno 2024 existem brasileiros doentes que pedem a volta da ditadura militar. Ou é falta de informação ou é amnésia mesmo, sem condições. Por isso esse filme para nós é mais que só um filme, é um lembrete.

This man is cute

This is so far the most intelligent reviews of this film I've seen on KZbin (and I've seen at least half a dozen). I appreciate that you know how to pronounce words properly and don't say "like" all the time. And you're not just some silly little gay stooge. I felt pretty much the same way about this film as you did. I gave it an 8 on IMDb. I don't have a whole lot of interest in awards, especially those coming from LA (because people are stupid there), BUT if I were nominating I'd nominate Craig, Manville, and cinematography. I've subscribed.

Were you old enough to see the trilogy in the cinema?

The film is fundamentally made for Brazilians and I think more specifically for their middle class. All the authoritarianism of a military dictatorship scandalizes the middle class, but for the majority of the exploited working class, something typical of countries on the periphery of capitalism, the dictatorship is not over yet and, in this aspect, the film does not speak to this audience, unfortunately.

Queer is brilliant.

The movie is minimalist, what doesn't mean superficial. If this movie was made in the USA, it would really melodramatic and overacting. Just like you said, Fernanda says multiple words only with her facial expressions.

EVERYTHING SEEN IN THIS FILME WAS SPONSORED BY FBI CIA AND THE TERRORIST AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BACK IN THE DAY !!! We brazilians know the truth from inside out !!!! Kissinger reports are a disgrace and sole proof of the North American Intervention in South America. It is the same terrorist government that sponsors those Jewish Rapscallians in their genocide against Palestinian people !!

Not Fernanda, but there is a chance of winning international film.

⁠well my first concert was Elvis at the Mid-South Colosseum here in Memphis where I live back in 1974. I was 9 when my parents took me. So I do love Elvis. I still think she did the song better. My mombb would not be happy to hear me say that. 😂🎉

Ok…her Blue Christmas is now my favorite version. Elvis who? 😂

I’m 58 and am only familiar with “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”. Thanks for the history lesson. I’ll give this album a spin today.

It's very true to the real story and book. It's a realistic biopic.

Very good review! I also understand that it could have been more explored in terms of soundtrack, or even made the film more dynamic. I got your point. ❤

I didn't like Challengers at all. I hope enjoy at least Daniel Craig's performance in Queer.😮

Excellent review! I learned so much about Brenda from this... wow! Also, really sweet detail about your Grandma. Also also... the editing in this vid is superb. Keep up the great work, sir and... Merry Christmas!

want to see that movie

Gotta love how US citizens are totally oblivious to the inner workings of a d1ctatorship their own country helped implement. This is not a conspiracy theory, it's well documented that the US sponsored most authoritarian regimes in South America. So there's a name for this "lack of context": willful ignorance.

What a stupid taste: Ronan and Adams in dogbitch over Kidman? Go see a doctor.
