The acting is very good and the movie is OK but if you aren't a Coen Brothers fan you may not totally get into it.

"If it was never new and it never was old its a folk song." Llewyn Davis (Isaac) is a folk singer living in New York in the early 60's. He is trying everything he can to make it big while struggling to find his way. He couch hops from house to house and picks up gigs when and where he can. When the woman who's place he is staying with tells him he has to move out it begins a long week for Llewyn that changes everything about him. At the risk of offending people I am not a huge Coen Brothers fan. I have liked most of their movies but my problem with them is that some are very slow moving and are really made for a specific audience. The music in this one is good but not as good as in O Brother Where Art Thou. The acting is very good and the movie is OK but again if you aren't a Coen Brothers fan you may not totally get into it. This is a movie where not much happens you just follow one guy around for a week. Overall, Coen Brothers fans will like this. If you aren't a fan you may struggle to get through it. I give this a B-.
