Inside Llewyn Davis - Reviews

Beautifully shot by Amélie cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, Inside Llewyn Davis is instantly recognizable as the work of its sibling auteurs.

...the most satisfyingly diabolical cinematic structure that the Coens have ever contrived, and that's just one reason that I suspect it may be their best movie yet.

Inside Llewyn Davis throbs with melancholy, hunches under heavy skies, revels in music history's unsexiest scene and unapologetically leaves you dangling. It is also beautiful, heartfelt and utterly enthralling.

...this is an affectionate goosing, not a lampooning, of the era and the culture, energetically enacted by a tight troupe of scene-stealers...

Oscar Isaac is terrific in the lead role, a picture of downtrodden grouchiness who manages to be both engaging and obnoxious...

Despite being lifted by flashes of satirical humour and a tranche of typically quirky cameos... ...Inside Llewyn Davis is one of the Coens’ more inwardly melancholic offerings.

...en helstøbt og indbydende figur, fyldt med fejl, og en vidunderlig krøllet musikalsk personlighed.

...er der nogen, der kan vride både poesi og begsort humor ud af en turné gennem livets jammerdal, er det Joel og Ethan Coen.

Med sedvanlig svart humor skildrar Bröderna Coen ännu en förlorare som är på fel plats vid fel tillfälle.

En film med en aningen annorlunda ton än den vi är mest vara att se från Joel och Ethan Coen.

Med sin lysende melankoli, sorte humor og sit triumferende studie af fiasko er 'Inside Llewyn Davis' et uforglemmeligt portræt af en tid, et sted, en mand og en musikgenre.
