Pick of the week
A Complete Unknown
James Mangold directed the excellent Johnny Cash drama Walk the Line, and his latest music biopic – which tracks the groundbreaking early phase of Bob Dylan’s career – has the same rewarding fidelity to time and place. It also features a lead performance that is so much more than an impersonation: Timothée Chalamet is perfectly cast as the single-minded young folk singer, who arrives in New York in 1961 to follow in the footsteps of his hero Woody Guthrie. Dylan wows lovable banjo star Pete Seeger (Edward Norton) with his songs and political stance, but his selfish attitude alienates Monica Barbaro’s equally talented Joan Baez … and most of the folk establishment.
