Saw this film yesterday as it was the only one on all of the lists of nominees that we hadn't seen yet.
We looked forward to seeing it as it was after all a film by the Coen Brothers. How could it be anything but good. The film has been preceded by rave reviews as well as an MRQE.com metric score of 83 which should have made it a decent film.
What a disappointment.My wife and I left the theater scratching our heads wondering what we missed in this film that we disliked it so much. It was a film with essentially no beginning and certainly no ending. It had a slow meandering story.
The story line in one simple sentence.....
A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.
The film did have a good ensemble cast in cameo roles including Carey Mulligan and John Goodman (who seems to be in everything these days)
Just under two hours
Just my $0.02
Thumbs down for us
