Inside Llewyn Davis Review

A struggling loser artist Llewyn Davis(Oscar Issac) (L is silent, them welsh laddies!) who performs odd gigs to keep food on his table struggles between handling a cat (doesn’t bother remembering his name ) and Jean(Carey Mulligan) who is carrying his child(supposedly no proof, though)

A folk musician, some great sessions in a gaslight pub and recording studio and Justin Timberlake.

This movie certainly follows a weird storytelling perspective as the first 5 minutes are similar to the last 5 minutes.

But one thing remains constant throughout, His struggle to get recognition.

It roughly has 5-6 compositions performed to perfection by Llewyn and Justin Timberlake(Jim).

The cat plays the second fiddle in every scene and you grow fond of the cat as Llewyn hops from one house to another.

The cameos are pleasing to the eyes with John Goodman’s role being the best.

A Good attempt by Coen brothers to try something new out of their forte with a modest and minimalist budget and even modest target audience.

This movie is a treat to watch if you like the peppy and happy folk songs along with an adorable cast and simple yet elegant screenplay.

Watch out for the:

1)Hundred Miles rendition of Jim and Jean.

2)The Jamming Session of Llewyn, Jim and Al Cody.
