So this film has been alluded to on other threads, but we haven't discussed it properly.
I'm still pretty undecided about the film. Having said that, despite its faults, I'd still recommend seeing it, as I think there's enough good things about it that make it worth watching.
So what's to like? The evocation of early 60s Greenwich village is very convincing. The songs are terrific as you'd expect. Oscar Isaac is really good in the lead and there's a very good supporting cast.
Yet there still feels like there's something missing. It's maybe that Llewyn Davis is a pretty unlikeable character and the whole film is essentially about underachievement, failure and lack of success.
However, many reviewers love this film and, as I said, it's still worth seeing even if, like me, you come out of it slightly disappointed.
