Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo (Brit DJ’s and journos) discuss 'A Complete Unknown'



 Funnily I was dreading what Mark would say but feel somewhere between the two . . . I did find myself smiling all the way through. I did get irritated by the axe scene with Seeger and the ‘Judas’ reference at Newport was a joke (literally I guess)  . . . . .would I buy it on DVD? Probably but I also agree that I prefer Haynes’ I’m Not There' and watched it again last night and will do so again. Would I watch A Complete Unknown over and over? Probably not . . . . .once you’ve seen it you’ve seen ;it was light and frothy and lovely but not a ‘deep’ film!
