A gloomy, inspired music scene

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2019)

With this one the Coens are taking a much more subdued approach to a story about music. Particularly the music of Llewyn Davis, a down on his luck former folk music singer. Shot at various small bars and in clubs and houses, this has all the look of the type of low budget feel of usual sundance fair, and that's why it works.
First of, their is a ton of goood music in here. If you're a fan of old times folk type music, you may find yourself enjoying this movie a little bit more. It also has at the level of a dark comedy about it to, but its alot ore underpayed here. I would not go as far as to calk this film boring, but it is quite slow, quite relaxed, and that too makes it feel calm and easy to watch , which is a positive for me. Its really a simple story, though told very well I would not call it anything special.
