Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown gets it just right, says Tom Charity

Timothée Chalamet channeled Bob Dylan better than Dylan, Ed Norton as Pete Seeger .

Bob Dylan's refusal to be a pawn in anyone’s game, says Harold Meerson .

Meerson: Successful biopics have in common is that they don’t mess with the history, which is plenty powerful in its own right.

In Hollywood ’s first hundred years , producers and writers using historical or biographical themes felt free to invent facts.

The 1942 film Yankee Doodle Dandy , with Jimmy Cagney as George M. Cohan , had little to do with the real Cohan .

I have had a personal experience with the tendency of screenwriters and producers to try to “improve” on history.
