Engrossing Film with Charming Performances,

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2017)

Inside Llewyn Davis is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast. It's a very engrossing film as we follow a week in the life of a young singer who is struggling to make it big. By the end of the movie, I felt very connected to Llewyn Davis, having being given a very good feel of his day to day life and how he navigates through all his problems.
My only real complaint about this film would actually be that it is far too short. Running at just over 100 minutes, I felt it had more to tell us, like the story could have been more developed, that this character had more potential. Once the credits came up, I was a little underwhelmed.
The performances is what could make or break a film like this, thankfully each part is perfectly casted, with everyone managing to find a lovely balance of humour and drama. Oscar Isaac shines as Llewyn Davis, every subtle choice he makes for the character adds so much depth and he is truly connected from start to finish, he is also joined by a stellar supporting cast that includes Carey Mulligan, John Goodman and Garrett Hedlund. It's a very sweet Coen Brothers film with some beautiful music and relatable characters. An engaging plot and top notch cast, Inside Llewyn Davis is worth the watch for anyone looking for a good drama.
Follows a week in the life of folk singer Llewyn Davis as he navigates from day to day.
Best Performance: Oscar Isaac
