Still, " Chalamet is a hypnotic Dylan", said Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian. He gives a "hilarious and seductive" performance, transforming into the "puckish", "witty" Dylan who becomes an "unwilling leader of his generation".

In 'A Complete Unknown', premiering Dec. 25 in theaters, Timothée Chalamet plays 19-year-old Bob Dylan as he arrives in New York City.

Edward Norton, Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro also star in this portrait of the early '60s Greenwich Village folk scene and the friction caused by Dylan rejecting his acoustic roots.
