A Complete Unknown (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌
Every performance here is great. Timothée Chalamet nails Bob Dylan’s voice, especially on the electric tracks. But also Monica Barbaro also nails Joan Baez. Those are two of the most singular, unique voices ever, and they absolutely got them down.
My one complaint is that basically all of these songs are shortened with verses missing. I get it from a film standpoint, because obviously Dylan songs tend to be long. But why couldn’t they just record the full thing for the soundtrack at least? Also, there are songs that are in the film that are missing that I wish were here. Namely Monica Barbaro doing “Farewell Angelina.” But maybe they’ll release an expanded version later or something.
Overall, the performances here are great, and I’m left wanting more. So I think they’ve done their job here. Also, the film itself is great. I saw it yesterday and it’s definitely worth the price of admission.
Favorite song: “I Was Young When I Left Home” is the only real weirdo deep cut, but it’s such a great song and is showcased so beautifully here and on the movie
