Stay Outside of 'Inside Llewyn Davis'

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2014)

The wife and I have been looking forward to this film coming here ever since we saw previews in December. I enjoy most of the Coen Bros. movies and the quirky characters they create. Unfortunately, this contained none of those, and was a chore to sit through. Some of the encounters are entertaining, but overall, the story just isn't that interesting. The music got rather tiresome after a while as well. Something a little up-beat thrown in might have helped keep me from fighting against my eyelids. There was very little to laugh at here as well, which is also not generally the case with the Coen Bros. Hopefully their next effort will be back in form. I don't know that even the die-hards will enjoy this one.
