I'm not really going to say a lot about this other than it's awesome! Oscar Isaac is committed, focused and totally believable, the supporting cast are brilliant, it's beautiful and the best thing about it is that it is under 2 hours long, rare for an award nominated film. I really feel that the best review I can give the film is the post-film conversation I had with James:
R - Did you feel like we were the only ones laughing?
J - Yeah but not everyone gets that dark type of humor. Was there enough Goodman for you?
R - Yeah, I mean he wasn't a very nice character, I think if there was anymore of him it would have unbalanced the film.
J - Yeah but I didn't find any of the characters likable.
R - There was the cat, you seemed to like the cat.
J- True, but I think he [Llewyn] was the cat.......
Mind blown!
Overall: Fantastic and I will have the 'Please, Mr Kennedy' song stuck in my head for weeks. 9/10
