A Complete Unknown

this movie was great, loved the scenery and the acting. i feel like timothée chalamet did a great job at portraying bob dylan, the directing made the movie portray the 60s without feeling overly nostalgic which i like, the music was as expected powerful, that said, while i found the movie beautiful and artistically engaging, it definitely falls short in terms of gender representation. a complete uknown doesn’t pass the bechdel test, which to be fair isn’t the only way to measure representation, but i still feel like it says something. there are a few named women in the story like joan and sylvie but they mostly serve as as satélites floating around dylan’s world. it feels disappointing that a movie with such artistry still sidelines its female’s characters given the complex women who were a part of dylan’s life.
