    Beautiful film about the power of not just art, but the unwillingness to let the negativity of the world crush you into submission. Goes on maybe three minutes too long, but other than that, a tight and inspiring story.

    A Complete Unknown

    ★★½

    For context: before I watched, I figured I knew maybe two Dylan songs. After watching, realized I know four. 

    Standard stuff. Mangold has made this film before, as have many others. Chalamet is great, even if at times the accuracy of his performance is so high, it makes you realize Dylan can be ridiculously off putting in an uninteresting way.

    A film where the musical sequences are great but the scenes in between are so underwritten, you wonder if this should have just been a true musical.

    The wild thing is, no matter how insane of a sequence currently happening is, the next one tops it.

    My wife asked: why are the Spider-Men played by different actors across the mutli-verse, but not Doctor Strange?

    And I never recovered.
