The Electric State Review
Based on the stars and genre buttons pushed, I believe it's reasonable to predict that The Electric State will be a huge hit for Netflix in terms of viewership. I am saddened by this. It's not just that it's not very good; that's more annoying than depressing in and of itself. In fact, the unsatisfactory taste of this film may be somewhat detrimental to the cultural idea that we refer to as "The Movies."

A Complete Unknown Ending Explained
A Complete Unknown, which James Mangold co-wrote and directed, has a unique ending. In contrast to other musician biopics, the Bob Dylan film mostly centers on the celebrated singer-songwriter's ascent to fame in the 1960s, which culminated in Dylan's 1965 performance at the Newport Folk Festival. 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.
