Really Good....

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2017)

A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.
"Inside Llewyn Davis" has been highly acclaimed, and was voted the 11th best film of the 21st century by 177 critics in a 2016 BBC Culture poll. This is very shocking. The film is indeed quite good, but 11th best film of the last 15 years? That is high praise, especially for a film that barely got noticed by the Academy.
What I enjoyed most was the music, as I'm sure most people did. Having Justin Timberlake involved was a smart move, both for the film and for him. I have been quite impressed how his singing and acting have outgrown his boy band image. Very few of his era have made the transition so smoothly.
