    A Complete Unknown

    ★★★★

    The first time I watched this I was too focused on the chronology and facts of things that I distracted myself from just sitting back and enjoying what I was watching. 

    On a second viewing I was able to let go of all that and enjoy all the lovely performances - particularly Ed Norton and Elle Fanning. 

    Timothée did a great job portraying young Bob into overwhelmed with it all 1965 Bob. The obvious things like Bob’s mumbling and the…

    Oh Paulie I loved your non-specific Brit gravely accent and your very meaty Gaelic football thighs but Denzel stole this movie away from you bud.

    I turned off my historical brain and enjoyed this big stupid movie for what it was. Solid cast and a fun watch. 

    Not quite the star making turn for Mescal as an action star but he was serviceable in a big blockbuster movie.

    This movie made me feel loneliness & grief in a way that acknowledges that maybe you shouldn’t always push those feelings down and away. 

    I don’t really understand what happened at the end of this movie. I mean I know what happened but don’t understand how all the puzzle pieces fit together. But I’m okay with that I think. 

    I admire Paul Mescal for agreeing to be in another movie where he is sad and naked. Homeboy knows his niche- making people sad and horny at the same time.
