Timothée Chalamet as Dylan recording the Highway 61 album, in A Complete Unknown.
Baby-boomer critics have spent the past week reliving halcyon memories and lauding the new Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. It turns out that critics born long after Bob Dylan exploded popular culture and released generation-defining music have their own takes on the film, which adopts an historical fiction approach to capturing the moment when the folkie plugged in and blasted “Like A Rolling Stone” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
