“In the early 1960s, 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York with his guitar and his revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music,” the official synopsis reads. “During his rise to fame, he forged his most intimate relationships, grew uneasy with the folk movement, and made a controversial decision that reverberated around the world.”

To prepare for his role, in which Chalamet lends his real-life vocals, the actor worked with a vocal coach, a guitar teacher, a dialect coach, a movement coach and a harmonica teacher. According to Rolling Stone, the 28-year-old star even wrote Bob Dylan’s lyrics on sheets of paper and taped them to his walls. “People are deeply protective of Bob Dylan and his musical legacy,” Chalamet told the website, “because it’s so pure in a way, and they don’t want a biopic to mishandle it.”

A complete unknown has received rave reviews and boasts a 79% critic score and 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Richard Roeper from the Chicago Sun Times praised it as “one of the best films of 2024” and called Chalamet’s performance “Oscar-worthy.”

Meanwhile, the Observer’s Emily Zemler wrote, “Timothée Chalamet looks, acts and even sings like Bob Dylan in this biopic.” But director James Mangold treats Dylan as a mythical figure rather than a person, leaving his mystery intact.”
