Inside Llewyn Davis

I've seen those clubs and met musicians like Llewyn , self absorbed, bitter and desperate, unable to connect with anyone but themselves. I'm not sure what the motivation was to make this film, although the acting, writing and production are superb. If you want to really see this movie, just go to an open mic night at any club in L.A. Nashville or N.Y.C and talk to one of the performers.

It's excruciating to watch myself on screen screwing up my life and looking to outside forces both for compassionate assistance and for an object of blame, resentment, and contempt. From the opening scene where he butchers a song I've been playing and singing for 20 years, I disliked this guy. If one were to make a movie about a miserable artist making miserable art, this is it. But, why would anybody do that? Maybe because no one can do it as well as the Coen brothers and they felt that it must be done. I've been inside - in the 90's in a different city and with a few different circumstances and details - and I couldn't stand it. I don't want to go back. I didn't want to go back, but the Coen brothers made me. Thanks a lot.

Got boring, you could watch this in 2x fast forward and still understand it. Rotten Tomatoes, which is a harsh and brutal bunch of film critics, gave this movie a 94%... I have no idea what was in their glass pipe when they were watching this. This movie was repetitive and lost it's purpose half way through.
