Each song and when they play

Warning: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for A Complete Stranger!

A complete strangerThe Bob Dylan Soundtrack features the cast singing iconic, genre-defining folk music, focusing predominantly on Bob Dylan's early folk and folk-rock songs. Musician Bob Dylan is one of the most influential and innovative musicians of all time, but he has developed a public perception as an enigma. A complete stranger attempts to unravel this perception by investigating the beginning of Dylan's career, which preceded the controversial 1965 Newport Folk Festival. As the film is a biopic of Bob Dylan, A complete stranger has an understandably huge soundtrack filled with songs from the early to mid-1960s.

In an exclusive Q&A during AMC's early access screening of A complete stranger on December 18th, at which Screen Rant was present, Timothée Chalamet revealed that they planned to pre-record the cast, but scrapped the recordings in favor of recording the songs live. This makes the soundtrack even more impressive, showcasing the abilities of the A complete stranger cast, who actually sing their characters' songs. Even viewers with no knowledge of Bob Dylan and the 60s folk scene will leave the theater as fans of the singers.
