    A Complete Unknown

    ★★

    Here’s a refined version of your review with smoother flow and clarity:

    The film follows the results of a 19-year-old’s decision to trek across the country for one of his musical idols, a leap of faith that ultimately kickstarts his career. It made me reflect on my own life—specifically, the ways in which I hold back. While I’m not particularly drawn to Dylan’s personality, his relentless need to express unspoken thoughts and emotions through writing was inspiring. Witnessing this pivotal period in his life, told from multiple perspectives, offered a fascinating glimpse into how he became a true pioneer.

    This movie explored the impact of “divine” timing and how our life unfolds based on the choices we make or rather don't make. It raised the notion of how, whether, despite different paths available, we may ultimately arrive at the same destination, carrying the same lessons in different forms. 

    While circumstances may vary, the experiences we need to gain from this life will find us one way or another.

    "From girl boss to baby girl.” Throughout the theatre, the girls were giggling and gaggling. I kept hearing about the supposed sex appeal of this movie, AND YET the only truly "hot" moment for me was Samuel dancing to the pleasure of the viewers, without offering emotionally immature/manipulative remarks.
    While I can appreciate the sense of power in Nicole Kidman's character fully embracing her sexual desires (especially as an aging mother in a society that devalues women as they age), I still did not find this movie appealing.
