Review of Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) by Jeffrey N — 08 Oct 2014

An well-written, if not almost intentionally dull, tale of a wandering musician at the crossroads of life where he has to choose between abandoning his youthful dream of being a musician or realizing who he is and settling for what he can actually achieve.

Although it is only a week in his life, and the movie begins at his moment of final decision, the viewer is clearly walked through evidence that where he is in life has been coming a long time. Typical Coen brothers style, which is always great and better than most, unfortunately there is nothing really new for them.
