Inside Llewyn Davis Film Review

Inside Llewyn Davis follows a folk singer in the Greenwich music scene during the early 60’s and explores the nature of suffering, self destruction, and the repetitive behavior in what is another success for the Coen Brothers.

It’s almost impossible to give away any additional information concerning the plot without ruining the film. In fact I wouldn’t even suggest finishing this review as the best way to view it, is with an untainted perspective.

If you must find out more about it, however, then just know it is a wonderful movie that perfectly displays the struggle of trying to retain your ideals and dreams while also attempting to survive.

Artistic integrity was a theme the Coen Brothers once explored in Barton Fink, but here they present the sacrifices one makes for his art, rather than the quality one sacrifices for himself.

And while it may not have enough dramatic flare for some, it adeptly portrays the struggle many, even non-musicians, face to retain what makes them unique and how easy it can be to get caught in a destructive cycle you always find yourself instigating.
