Do the Coen Brothers ever disappoint? Other than The LadyKillers, I don't think so. I loved just about everything about this film. The first thing I noticed was how real it felt. Every character (especially the lead) was completely believable. I felt like I was on the journey with Llewyn and this is extremely difficult to pull off in film. The film is another great example of a film that is meant to be enjoyed by people who want to work a little bit to get the most out of a movie. It certainly took its time getting to where it is going and ultimately it really didn't "go" anywhere in a literal sense (and in fact, it went backwards). If you think that nothing happened then you missed the point of the film.
That said, I have to admit that I missed a lot of the symbolism that was presented in the film. Do yourself a favor and do some reading after you watch the film.
