A Good Film about a Very Unlikeable Guy

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2014)

For me the best part of Inside Llewyn Davis came right at the end when he gets the crap knocked out of him. Because this is the story, as good as its told, of a self centered A....hole. I mean you sit through nearly two hours of 60s memories in the company of one of the most unlikeable characters to grace the screen in a long time.
I know he's an eccentric artist and Oscar Issac does a great job...especially his wonderful singing bits...but in the end he's the same loser as he was when the film began.
As for the film,the only real negative aspect is its length because his life being so one dimensional as a parasite, the story could have been told in half the time. But you have to credit the Coen's for adding another string to their diverse bow of fine films.
