Going nowhere

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2014)

This film tells the story of a young struggling folk singer, and his eventful week in New York.
"Inside Llewyn Davis" is the title of the album by the title Character, Llewyn Davis. It is not creating ripples across the nation in the 1960's USA, and he struggles to make ends meet. He crashes in various friends' places, a few days at a time. His encounters with these friends are eventful, but they do not seem to get anywhere. I thought Llweyn Davis was right back where he started after almost two hours, and the big circle he travelled was not even entertaining.
In a plot driven film like this, it is crucial to grab the viewers' attention - but there was little to grab mine in "Inside Llewyn Davis". Fortunately, the songs were very good, and they did the songs justice by playing them in their entirety.
