While Timothée Chalamet may win an Oscar for his role in A Complete Unknown, Bob Dylan's real ex-girlfriend, Joan Baez, has high praise for the actor's performance in the biopic. In an interview with The Marin Independent Journal, Baez discussed the biopic. She complimented Chalamet's stage presence when playing Dylan.

I think she fell in love with the words themselves and how he was saying things she was trying to find the words for,' the 'A Complete Unknown' actor says of the folk singers' doomed relationship.

Joan Baez offers 'kudos' to Monica Barbaro for 'A Complete Unknown,' saying she 'loved' the Oscar-nominated actress' performance.

Joan Baez and Bob Dylan are two of the most iconic musicians of the ’60s, and while they’ve always had a devoted following, the Oscar-nominated biopic A Complete Unknown—where Monica Barbaro plays Baez alongside Timothée Chalamet’s Dylan—has put them back at the forefront of the cultural conversation and introduced them to a new audience.
