A Complete Unknown... portrayal of Bob Dylan's rise to fame. Excellent. Great music and Timothée Chalamet brilliant in the lead role. Edward Norton as Pete Seeger is quite something too... seems to be very accurate. Woodie Gutherie sad role in it but he sure inspired Dylan, Springsteen.. Anyway highly recommend. In cinemas...

Can't disagree with all of that. Well worth a watch.

It leaned heavily into the performance of his hits. I'd maybe have liked a little more time on the man, his personal life etc. Small gripe. Still a great show

Carry-on currently on netflix is a decent watch.

Fair enough! Thought the music content was brilliant. I went to see it again last night. I loved it. Just ses, go and do your thing no matter what people think. The meetings with Guthrie, too, were inspiring... tho in reality he went once to see him in hospital.. Dylan penned this poem bout him...

The Gorge is pretty good, surprised that it never got a Cinema release after watching it.

I watched "Elevated" last night on Prime.
Leave your brain at the door kind of stuff, but watchable enough.

Was ok, and the end left it with a sequel in mind possibly?
On a level with the Gorge 
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Not to give away  spoilers but the bucket scene... oh frig... if you've  seen it, you'll know . Christ almighty

We enjoyed that too.

It even got a bit Tarantino-esque in the second act when your man escaped and left the girl to face the rather incompetent minders. Fun film!
