self-indulgent. They must hate folk music and folk musicians

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2015)

OK--yet another wimpy young Jewish male who feels "oppressed" and "misunderstood" by his middle-class affluent relatives and milieu. Get a clue Coen Brothers--you've already done this theme to death!! And Todd Haynes or is it Todd Solenz did it better--"White Palace, Welcome to the Dollhouse and all that. A So did Woody Allen!!--Deconstructing Harry.
What a wimp your Llewellen is!! The credits and promos said you were inspired by Dave Van Ronk's autobiography-MAYOR OF MACDOUGAL STREET. But did you guys even READ that book. Van Ronk wasn't some whiney, thumb-sucking foetal-position loser. Van Ronk was, among other things, a merchant marine, a jazz musician and an influential folk performer and guitar arranger.
The plot of your movie was genuinely less-than-zero. Llewellen gets two girlfriends pregnant and he discovers that his current squeeze, or current-ex, has been screwing around with several guys, behind his back. And thus more wimpy whining from Llewellen.
And the MUSIC in this film genuinely sucks., Except fro one song in one moment in this long, self-indulgent tedious movie, what music there is is really grating and purposefully BAD and annoying--whether it is untypically nasal Irish keening or something else. The only listenable music in the whole film is one exact copy of a Van Ronk recording.
T-Bone Burnette did a great job of making and collecting the music for "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" and the soundtrack for that has lasted much longer than that movie itself. But whatever input Burnett had to the music for this "Llewellen" film must have been minimal.
The viewer--and listener--gets the impression that the Coen Brothers either HATE folk music, or else they are very JEALOUS of folk musicians and wanted to make a movie to put them down or make them look stupid. What a let-down. Hope you guys do better next time. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
