I'm a huge fan of the Coen Brothers but their last few films haven't been that awesome as their older stuff. This one was okay. A little disappointing since I wanted more out of it. Normally, I would of waited to see this on DVD, but, because of the Coens and because I am lucky to live in a city where they appreciate movies, I got to see this in the theatre. I didn't mind the usual quirky characters and some of the dialogue that reminded me of the Coens. The overall picture though, felt weak. I'm not into folk music but I did like one or two songs from here. Lots of drama with a few comedic moments about a struggling musician who keeps messing up and staying in other people's couches. Felt a bit sorry for him. I wanted more out of the supporting characters. Left the theatre feeling incomplete. Movies this year haven't been that strong with me. I still got two more to see in the theatre before the year is over: The Wolf of Wall Street and American Hustle. I'm hoping for at least one of those to kick ass. We'll see. Inside Llewyn Davis is recommended for a one time viewing if you're into folk music and depressing dramas.
