Timothée Chalamet 'electrifying' as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown as rave reviews praise him for SAVING film


Timothée Chalamet's performance as legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in James Mangold's biopic, A Complete Unknown, has been dubbed as 'electrifying.'

'Chalamet has the rangy, boyish appeal so central to Dylan’s nascent image, but ably complicates the picture with flecks of haughty arrogance, mercurial temper, aloof disregard for the feelings of those around him,' Richard Lawson from Vanity Fair stated. '[The film] takes a reverent stance to Dylan’s artistry, populated by technically accomplished musical performances, and shot with a real sensitivity to the emotional landscape of each track. Chalamet - who leads a cast also featuring Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro and Scoot McNairy - said that Dylan had a measure of creative control throughout production of the Mangold-directed biographical drama.
