Very disappointed :(
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This film is nothing amazing, but it doesnt have any notable issues either. Its just good. The llot is a bit slow at times ehich makes the film a bit boring. The films best feature is its cinematography, which makes to film so good to look at. The actors are a bit uncharasmathic. However they make up for this by singing well. In general, this film is okay. It probably wont last long in my memory and certainly isnt as iconic as other Coen Brother films, such as Fargo and Raising Arizona.
Great story about an artist who has lost his passion in the thing he loves and is still struggling to accomplish what he's had been trying to do with his partner; become a successful folk musician. What we see is the antithesis of what you'd expect from the Greenwich folk crowd which is a community of people who love this music and support each other because of it. What we see is a man's dead dreams and his struggle to even remember anything that was good about them. Brilliant music performances.
I don't know how to describe this film but its beautiful.
Inside Llewyn Davis is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast. It's a very engrossing film as we follow a week in the life of a young singer who is struggling to make it big. By the end of the movie, I felt very connected to Llewyn Davis, having being given a very good feel of his day to day life and how he navigates through all his problems. My only real complaint about this film would actually be that it is far too short. Running at just over 100 minutes, I felt it had more to tell us, like the story could have been more developed, that this character had more potential. Once the credits came up, I was a little underwhelmed.The performances is what could make or break a film like this, thankfully each part is perfectly casted, with everyone managing to find a lovely balance of humour and drama. Oscar Isaac shines as Llewyn Davis, every subtle choice he makes for the character adds so much depth and he is truly connected from start to finish, he is also joined by a stellar supporting cast that includes Carey Mulligan, John Goodman and Garrett Hedlund. It's a very sweet Coen Brothers film with some beautiful music and relatable characters. An engaging plot and top notch cast, Inside Llewyn Davis is worth the watch for anyone looking for a good drama. Follows a week in the life of folk singer Llewyn Davis as he navigates from day to day. Best Performance: Oscar Isaac
