Sometimes the exact movie you needed at that exact moment naturally comes along and there's really no better feeling in the world. Don't know where Inside Llewyn Davis has been all my life, but I'm glad it showed up now.

a hell of a lot of truth in this. a hell of a lot of truth. broad cuts at the divide between living & simply being alive, but perhaps more than anything else a gently devastating look at how people change (or how they don't). need to let this one kick around (and will surely revisit a ridiculous number of times over the years) but already comfortable saying that it's up there with the the Coen brothers' very best.

poe dameron, kylo ren, & justin timberlake sing a song about not wanting to go to space AND there's a very cute cat ... what more could u ask for honestly

When are the Coens going to admit that they are really just incredible record producers with a really good sense for dramatic irony

excuse me — i am homeless. i’m bisexual. i have depression. and i’m new in town.

97/100

An odyssey through cigarette smoke, carrying a lonely soul from couch to couch and from disappointment to disappointment. Chilly, wintry cinema, packed with typical Coens humor (I could listen to Mulligan rant about condoms for days) but also distanced from the crisp time-period that it's depicting. Like the Coen Brothers have said, there's no need to parody the folk genre as everything is right up there on the screen, but there's still a plethora of swelling comfort and unwelcoming depression to be found, sliding a detailed character study into the aura of a peculiar environment. My favorite Coen Brothers film, and if I had to pick one reason why, I'd point you to the moment where an orange tabby cat experiences the rush of the subway for the first time, following the rapid lights as they strobe into oblivion.

"Llewyn is the cat."

Even richer on second viewing. I feel you could watch this movie 100 times and not reach bottom. I laughed more, and I was moved more, and one performance choked me up more.

Someone needs to do a video essay putting the opening and closing scenes side by side, comparing and contrasting each shot and line reading, and examining what's changed and what stays the same, and why.

*unaware this is bad* wow; just like me!

wow, the force awakens wouldn't even had happened if poe and kylo's band had just stayed together smh

i don’t wanna seem dramatic but oscar isaac is really the most beautiful man of all time. this isn’t even remotely subjective it’s just the truth so jot that down

97

There's no greater thrill in Inside Llewyn Davis than when the titular character stops Ulysses - the adorable, aimless Tabby - from scurrying out of the apartment. A small, sincere movement of hope delivered by a hopeless figure.

I don't know why I feel comfort in this despite how fucking sad it is

WELL I’M NOT A FUCKING CAT

perfect

CEO: "Okay we want a new film to discuss life being repetitive and essentially going no where because you're trapped in your own struggles."

Most Directors: "Er... let's do another time loop movie. Uhhhh speaking of repetitive, let's repeat the same concept."

Coens: "Ah let's make the audience feel trapped with our protagonist. That will be fun!

maybe i'll rewatch it sometime and appreciate it more

So sad and bleak 💔💔

Ich warte auf den Spin-Off Film der Katze

I “liked” this movie at first. A similar relationship I have with most of my favorite films. The films deals with some deep themes, and is definitely a more “artistic” film. I thought I know what to expect from Joel and Ethan Coen, and while this film shares some beats with A Serious Man and No Country For Old Men, it feels entirely different from those. When you watch this film it’ll stew in the back of your head for weeks at a time, forcing you to think about, and to look at yourself and think some more. This movie made me have a borderline spiritual evaluation of myself, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s okay with spending an evening sobbing.

I‘ve probably never seen a movie use lighting so intensely interesting.
