Movie Info
INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS follows a week in the life of a young folk singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles-some of them of his own making. (c) CBS

All Critics (26) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (24) | Rotten (2)
The Coen brothers' new movie ranks with their very best in its nearly pitch-perfect balance of biting satirical humour and deep reserves of feeling.
Top CriticIt's the movie's profound undercurrent of sadness that gets to you.
The brothers have created a character who's hard to love and a bit of a chore to invest in for an hour and 45 minutes. Like the old songs in his repertoire, he's familiar, not new, but he quickly gets old and tiresome.
[A] marvelous, surreptitiously soulful movie ...
One of the best and most understated movies about the grieving process.
The Coens have given us a melancholic, sometimes cruel, often hilarious counterfactual version of music history. It's a what-if imagining of a cultural also-ran that maybe tells us more about the truth than the facts themselves ever could.
The Coen Brothers' remarkable 'Inside Llewyn Davis' is a conjuring act of near-magical conviction, an ode to the artistic spirit that's as uncompromising as the troubled genius it chronicles.
{VIDEO ESSAY] The filmmakers' gift for making the audience feel like welcomed members of an elite club has never seemed more focused.
As played by an eloquently beleaguered Oscar Isaac, Llewyn Davis is arguably the most vivid and complex character the Coens have dreamed up since Marge Gunderson.
May be the Coens' saddest yet
A wise, wintry ode to artistry lost, found and placed in storage.
Inside Llewyn Davis is a quiet triumph of a film.
If O Brother, Where Art Thou was loosely based on The Odyssey, I think Inside Llewyn Davis is the Coen Brothers' Alice in Wonderland,
Inside Llewyn Davis isn't about someone trying to make it big, but someone just trying to make it, and the Coens celebrate the hard road that can inspire great art.
Melancholy and funny, quirky and touching, it stands among their strongest work.
The filmmaking duo's new movie features a protagonist far more flawed and self-defeating, but thanks to a sterling lead performance from Oscar Isaac, the Coen brothers have once again delivered an impressively nuanced character study.
An ode to art for art's sake, Inside Llewyn Davis is the most innocent movie of the Coens' career, which in their case is a downright radical achievement.
The film is thoughtful and evocative, just as the directorial duo's other period offerings, and to call it a low key affair, packed with charm is not to do the film any disservice.
