This movie is a lovely, but superficial overview of Dylan's first five years as a performer in The Village, recording artist and concert favourite. The movie and his desire to perform as a rock & roll artist peaked at his highly controversial appearance at the Newport '65 Folk Festival with a rock band. Fellow travelers Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Suze Rotolo (renamed Sylvie Russo in the movie at Dylan's request), Albert Grossman, Bobby Neuwirth are all portrayed faithfully by a group of wonderful actors. If you are expecting to see a movie that is 100% factually accurate, then you will be disappointed. If you want to see a delightful movie spotlighting the finest folk/rock composer of the 20th century played beautifully by Timothee Chalamet, then by all means go and enjoy 'A Complete Unknown'!
