Oscar-nominated means a must see for this reviewer. Good music, soulful acting and slow-moving plot make for a typical Oscar movie.
Oscar Isaac is a an actor and singer perfect for the role of fictional Llewyn Davis. This was inspired by the story of musician Dave Ronk and the Greenwich village music scene of the 1960's. I admired Oscar's acting and would be happy to sit in a dive bar listening to him sing folk music.
Carey Mulligan is an under-rated actress who flawlessly takes on any role she portrays (An Education and Never Let Me Go among others).
Justin Timberlake and John Goodman seem to pop in nearly every movie lately and are both charming in their own ways. I didn't like John Goodman's character arc in the movie but he is also an under-rated actor subtlety very diverse in his acting skill.
I give this a half thumb up for the music and acting but was under-whelmed overall.
