OK. I won't call the Coens movies souless anymore.

Richard Crouse

A fictional look at the vibrant Greenwich Village folk scene but this isn't a history, it's a feel. It gives us an under-the-covers look at struggles and naked ambition it takes to get noticed.

It's not until almost halfway through that the odd occurrences and even stranger characters begin to surface.

Isaac and the Coen brothers have imparted their character with no shortage flaws, but he should be immensely empathetic for anyone who's ever attempted to carve out their own place in the overwhelmingly world of music.

Bleak but lovely journey OK for older-teen music fans.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Inside Llewyn Davis, by filmmaking brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, is a startlingly affecting drama about 1960s Greenwich Village folk singer Llewyn Davis's struggle to be noticed and to survive. Expect a bleak (but memorable) retelling that includes some intense subject matter (suicide, abortion), plus some drinking and a scene of a possible drug overdose that may be too heavy for younger teens. There's also plenty of swearing, including "---hole" and "f--k," and a bunch of amazing musical performances.
