    A Complete Unknown

    ★★★★

    I’ve not got a clue about Bob Dylan to comment on this portrayal but from what I’ve gathered he is a bit of a dick ? Success.

    I thought the narrative was really engaging and moved from scene to scene at a good pace. A lot of singing but it was great so I didn’t mind. 

    I may now dabble into Bob Dylan’s discography but with 50+ albums, where to begin …

    Am I now a Robbie Williams fan? Kinda grown to like him after this and his documentary. I enjoyed how unserious he is, and how unserious this film was … a monkey? Ok. 

    The final scene actually had me tearing up when he sang with his dad. The fight scene was giving Rise of the Planet of the Apes - pop off Caesar!

    Matthew McConaughey steals the show once again with his unbelievable acting. The story of this film is something I would never pick to explore, but the mind blowing world of searching for gold makes for a great plot. 

    The film goes through its ups and downs, with no certainty of how it will end. The ending itself was a perfect way to conclude this story of friendship, wealth, family and of course, gold. 8.5/10

    Undertones of stress and uncertainty throughout while dipping into sub genres. The comedy was actually entertaining and subtle. It really takes you on a ride, with dragged out scenes, the film builds tension towards a heartbreaking final moment. 

    I really loved Anora’s character, she is the driving force of this film and the performance by Mikey Madison is outstanding.
