Interview: Cinematographer Phedon Papamichael Returns to Discuss the Look of ‘A Complete Unknown’
Phedon Papamichael loves to work with James Mangold. Now, he also obviously loves to work with Alexander Payne, but to hear him talk about Mangold, the cinematographer clearly is on the same page with the director.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s of course that time again! There are few things a writer in this industry looks forward to more than doing their year end Top Ten list. Even with the sort of unusual years that were the last few, I still saw well over 300 films each year, and that includes here […] More

Interview: Boyd Holbrook Talks About the Fun of Playing Johnny Cash in ‘A Complete Unknown’
Boyd Holbrook is having more fun than almost anyone else this year in A Complete Unknown. It helps that he’s playing Johnny Cash, as well as working once again with filmmaker James Mangold. It’s not a big role, to be fair, but it’s a scene-stealing one, to be sure. So, I was eager to chat […] More

Interview: Filmmaker James Mangold Discusses His Approach to Bob Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown’
It goes without saying, but James Mangold knows how to make a movie. Look at his resume and you’ll see a myriad of works, all of which display incredibly proficiency. For my money, it’s hard to beat Cop Land, though 3:10 to Yuma, Ford v. Ferrari, Logan, and Walk the Line are just more examples […] More

Interview: Monica Barbaro Discusses Playing Joan Baez in ‘A Complete Unknown’
One of the pleasures of A Complete Unknown for me is really discovering Monica Barbaro.

The mystery of Bob Dylan has lingered in pop culture for over a half century now. The enigma that is one of the most seminal artists of the 20th century endures, which is a testament to not just his staying power, but also the mystique surrounding him.

Interview: ‘A Complete Unknown’ Editors Andrew Buckland and Scott Morris Discuss Cutting the Bob Dylan Biopic
It takes precise editing to tell the story of Bob Dylan. As you’ll see in my review in a few days, the title A Complete Unknown is quite apt for James Mangold’s film. At the same time, thanks to editors Andrew Buckland (who won the Oscar for Best Film Editing with a prior Mangold collaboration, […] More

On the December Radar…
Coming off of what was probably the single most awkward and regrettable Thanksgiving dinner of our lives, as well as a failed attempt to replicate a lightning-in-a-bottle cultural phenomenon, we have one more month of 2024 theatrical releases to go.
