Inside Llewyn Davis is a 2013 movie directed by the visionary, modern masters Coen brothers. Inside Llewyn Davis is a very distinctive movie from Coens earlier works yet has some very familiar features which includes metaphorical themes.
The movie revolves around the central character Llewyn Davis, who is a very talented and passionate musician but has an awful luck and is not motivated enough to take the step to become the star he truly can. He is not ready to sell out his music for music. He considers himself a purist, which in turn holds him back throughout the course of the movie.
The movie is very metaphorical so one needs to pay attention to the very minute details to fully appreciate the movie. For instance throughout the movie Llewyn is carrying a cat which he has no relation to, this a subtle representation of his own career.
Oscar Isaac has done a phenomenal job in essaying the character of Llewyn Davis, who by no means is a likeable character but still one cannot stop sympathizing with him. The supporting cast are brilliant in their own short roles which includes the highly talented Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Justin Timberlake. The cinematography is gorgeous, the background score is outstanding and the folk music is cherry on top.

After the success of Hunger games, there has been a surge in making movies out of Dystopian novels. The maze runner is one of them. Despite an interesting concept the film falls in recreating the tense and engrossing atmosphere of Hunger games. There are new twists at various intervals but have little logical explanation. The bizarre climax certainly doesn't help the cause
