A Complete Unknown Ending Explained
A Complete Unknown, which James Mangold co-wrote and directed, has a unique ending.

A Complete Unknown received positive reviews and was nominated for multiple Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor. In addition to his amicable but tense relationship with Pete Seeger, Dylan's ascent as a folk star is well-established in the movie, from his first arrival in New York City in 1961 to his sold-out performances.
