Oscar-nominee Timothée Chalamet embodies the magnetic spirit of Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s electrifying musical biopic.

Reviews

‘James Mangold’s biopic follows the rise of the era-defining star with Chalamet brilliantly embodying his shapeshifting allure’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘This is an extraordinary performance, far deeper than an impersonation, that charts the progress of the singer-songwriter, the music scene he entered and altered, and events in the wider world during times that were urgently a’changin’.’
★★★★
Nick Curtis, London Evening Standard
