We are once again getting a music biopic this winter, so another studio can try and get some awards. We have gone from every studio exploring the period between World War I and World War II for awards to biopics about various infamous people. Some of them are better than others, and it seems to be a crapshoot about whether they work out. The music biopics seem to have an even thinner line to walk because they have to deal with singing unless you decide to bypass that and have your lead just lip-sync, and for some reason, that is Oscar-worthy. There isn't any lip-syncing in A Complete Unknown and Searchlight, and director James Mangold has gathered a small group of impressive actors. We got a small batch of character posters showing off each of our main cast, including who they are playing.

Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music.
