'Beautiful' is the Only Word I Can Think of to Describe Inside Llewyn Davis

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2015)

I went into this movie unsure of what I'd think, considering I don't typically listen to folk music and considering the mixed reviews it received. I'm happy to say that it was absolutely amazing.
Inside Llewyn Davis doesn't have a particularly deep plot. It's about a folk singer trying to become famous. It's a pretty average music movie plot, which isn't a bad thing, especially in this case. The plot is very well carried out and realistic nonetheless. The choices Llewyn Davis makes feel more human than other movies I've seen, despite how hard they were to watch at times.
The characters are the driving force of this movie. Llewyn Davis is very well developed, and his character feels real and full of depth. Not everything that he says or references from his life will have major significance in his life later on, which really adds to it. The other characters are all amazing too, although I wish we could have spent more time with some of them. But just like real life, people come and go. There's not a lot we can do about that.
The music aspect of the movie was, although the overall plot, not as big as I thought it would be. Llewyn plays and watches other performances occasionally, but he doesn't do either very often. It's part of his character, but I kind of liked how there wasn't an excessive amount of music, despite the fact that I loved every song sung in the movie.
Overall Inside Llewyn Davis is amazing. With a well-done plot, fantastic characters, and great music, it's well worth anyone's time. If you didn't like it, then I really can't see why, but that's just your opinion. If you haven't seen it, then go do it. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, whether you like music or not.
