givemeallyougot’s review published on Letterboxd:
I was surprised. Timothy's star power is real. I didn't give a damn about Bob Dylan until 2 hours ago (more like 4, had to get home).
It works because it's a vibe. If you catch on the vibe Timothy just carries it on his shoulder and it's a pleasure to watch. In fact I wasn't into it at all for the first 20 minutes. Give movies their time, always.
I could really rewatch it and enjoy it so much more, sometimes you can feel it. Not sure what to make of the movie on its own, trying to picture it without Chalamet's great perfomance. But I'm all for the vibes.
That's also because I almost forgot the last 20 minutes were terrific.. an artist biggest tragedy, being forced to be a puppet for the fans to pull the strings.
((RANT INCOMING, SKIP IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT CINEMATOGRAPHY))
really confused about the look they went for. Night scenes, especially concerts and streets, looked beautiful. Interior scenes looked like a netflix tv show. You do such a great job with creating a certain esthetic just to nullify it while shooting. It's like someone brought a digital camera to the 60s. Phedon Papamichael, DP of A Complete Unknown, justified this choice by saying, "film has no longer the TEXTURE I was looking for, the stock is TOO CLEAN and too slow," now I'm no expert but my humble eye says that's exactly what you got, sir, too clean and no texture at all.
Anyway. Good movie.
