Neil Young has shared his thoughts on the new Bob Dylan movie A Complete Unknown, and it turns out he’s a big fan. 

“I love Bob Dylan and his music. Always have. He’s a great artist,” Neil wrote on his Archives website. “Once he was on my bus and I didn’t recognize him and threw him off but that’s another story.” 

As for the film, which stars Timothée Chalamet as Dylan, Neil writes, “This movie is a great tribute to his life and music. I think if you love Bob’s music you should see this great movie. I loved it.”

While Neil gave the film a thumbs-up after seeing the flick, Dylan also threw his support behind the film without having seen it. In December he posted his thoughts on social media, sharing, “Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.” 

A Complete Unknown, which is in theaters now, follows a 19-year-old Dylan as he arrives in New York from Minnesota and tracks his rise as a folk singer during the ’60s, ending with his electric rock ‘n’ roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
