There’s more to ‘A Complete Unknown’ than just Timothée Chalamet’s Bob Dylan

CNN — It’s not easy being a supporting act. James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” may have its megawatt star in Timothée Chalamet, but his light isn’t so bright as to blind us from one of the year’s great supporting casts. Courtesy Searchlight Pictures In the movie, Dylan quickly crosses paths by Baez, “the first lady of folk,” who’s already selling out theaters. I’d kind of crossed some threshold.” “I didn’t feel like I was hanging out with Timothée” Chalamet as Dylan and Barbaro as Baez in a scene from "A Complete Unknown." That would be hubris.” “You have to cleverly figure out the ways to approximate it and spend a lot of time on very few things … Put a few months into one solo you can make it look like you know what you’re doing.” Director James Mangold and Timothée Chalamet on the set of "A Complete Unknown."
