Un parfait inconnu

« A superficial illustration of the artist's allure, interspersed with endless, increasingly comical shots of people watching him perform and smiling beatifically. »

« Whatever script flaws there are in terms of structure, plot momentum and an opaque central character, A Complete Unknown offers rewards in its lived-in performances and in the exhilarating music sequences that propel it forward. For many audiences with an affection for Dylan's music and the era in general, that will be enough. »

« A Complete Unknown is a drama of scruffy naturalism, with a plot that doesn't so much unfold as lope right along with its legendary, curly-haired, sunglass-wearing coffee-house troubadour hero. Yet the feel -- the effect -- is that of a musical. »

« The mystifying icon gets a satisfying ode to him and his genre-bending career. »

« This Bob Dylan biopic is a worthy follow-up to Mangold's Walk the Line, and sports an amazing Timothee Chalamet performance. »

« James Mangold, même s'il n'atteint pas ici la force de Walk The Line sur Johnny Cash, permettra à de nombreux spectateurs de comprendre cette effervescence sociale et musicologique passée et de capter quelque peu l'essence de cet artiste. »

« Évocation vibrante des débuts d'une icône de la culture du XXe siècle. Récit plutôt anecdotique. Réalisation de métier. Omniprésence de la musique de Dylan. T. Chalamet bluffant. »
