A Complete Unknown is a 2024 American biographical drama film directed by James Mangold, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jay Cocks. Based on the 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric! by Elijah Wald, the film portrays Bob Dylan through his earliest folk music success until the momentous controversy over his use of electric instruments at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Timothée Chalamet (who also produces) stars as Dylan, with Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, and Scoot McNairy in supporting roles. The film's title is derived from the chorus of Dylan's 1965 single "Like a Rolling Stone".
A Complete Unknown premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on December 10, 2024, and is scheduled to be released in the United States by Searchlight Pictures on December 25, 2024. Early reviews for the movie have been positive, with universal acclaim for Chalamet's performance. It was named one of the top ten films of 2024 by the American Film Institute and the National Board of Review, the latter of which also awarded Fanning the Best Supporting Actress prize.[7] It received three nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards: Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Actor for Chalamet and Best Supporting Actor for Norton.

PETE SEEGER (Ed Norton) and JOAN BAEZ (Monica Barbaro) !! You dwelt on Elle Fanning's "shallow character" while failing to even mention Seeger or Baez by name. Baez was especially significant in launching Dylan's career. Seeger was one of the major players in founding the Folk Revival of the 1950's and 60's and Baez was an enormous presence whose career lasted 60 plus years until her retirement from singing a few years back. She summed up her relationship with Dylan in a 1975 top 40 hit, "Diamonds and Rust".

I did mention Seeger by name and also credited both actors for great performances. I didn’t have an issue with their storylines that’s why I didn’t go into detail on them. Of course they’re important that’s why they’re highlighted in the movie.
