“A Complete Unknown”

I saw the film, “A Complete Unknown.” I liked the movie. The supporting actors are all wonderful. Monica Barbaro is eerily spot on for Joan Baez - she sounds just like her! Edward Norton is wonderful as Pete Seeger (It could be trouble casting a man in his mid-50s for a character in his mid-40s, but given the changing-of-the-guard storyline it works perfectly). Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo are excellent too. 

Timothee Chalamet is a conundrum, though. He’s like a complete void. He’s great at playing people with no discernible personalities. I’ve seen him in 4 movies now (if you count Dune twice). All his characters are interchangeable - like minions, or tic-tacs, or black holes. 

Fortunately, Bob Dylan seems to not have had that much personality. TC is therefore a good fit for Bob Dylan. (I’ve never liked Dylan’s songs all that much, excepting a few in the mid-70s - maybe overrated.) 

One day, TC will be cast to play someone with a distinct personality, and then he’ll be in real trouble. But until then, smooth sailing.
