Complicated Story
Overly self-important
Watching this movie, it became really clear why critics loathed it, but you know, I didn't care.

This was one of my favorite movies of 2015. It was a refreshing movie to see. The end was kind of meh, but it did fit. I loved Domnhall Gleeson in this film. And, of course, Oscar Isaac has the best line/scene in the entire movie.

For anyone who has ever believed that they had a calling and has struggled to achieve that dream, it's difficult not to empathize as Llewyn grapples with competing forces of doing what he loves and trying to survive.

This movie was a complete mess. The plot was all over the place, and they kind of wasted Oscar Isaac. I always love James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender together, but there was close to nil of that action. Michael Fassbender seemed like he hated life all throughout it.
Also, I'm really tired of Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique. Can we please get some clothing for Mystique? I find it really strange that she has clothing in comics but close to none in the movies.

Cinematography
Beautifully performed, but meandering
Vincent VanGogh is my wife's favorite artist, and so I know a bit more about him than I do most of his contemporaries. The story here is an interesting one, but the film manages to get bogged down with shaky cam shots of Vincent's feet running through fields. The pacing was odd but tolerable, but the cinematography and camera work....I wasn't a fan. The performances, though? Not a bad one in the lot, and Willem Dafoe deserved to win the Oscar for this. I'm not sure what he lost to, but I don't think it was more powerful. Sure, he's too old for the part, but honestly? He was born to play the role. Bottom line: loved the performances, but not the movie itself.

I feel like this movie suffered from the same thing that Anthropoid thing, a boring build-up that doesn't really pay off in the end.
This movie felt like a 2 hours movie, which is never good. It was a long slog, and the tension wasn't built enough to actually interest me. It was a good story, but the pacing issue was bad.
Ben Kingsley was silently menacing, and tried to weasel his way out of taking the blame for anything. I felt like the movie was perhaps too kind towards his character? Oscar Isaac did well in his role, but it still wasn't enough to keep me completely enthralled.

Dull
Considering the very decent cast and a not entirely unintriguing plot, I was hoping this might actually be quite good. Sadly, it wasn’t. The soundtrack was pretty good and the film started off well throwing us right into the action, it just went downhill after that. The cast are quite decent, and Oscar Isaac is always good to watch (although I really don’t rate Ben Affleck, as usual). The problem is that the film itself is fairly dull and predictable. It takes well over an hour (half of the run time) to get into any action whatsoever and even then it isn’t particularly entertaining. There was no tension or real intrigue, and it played out exactly as you’d expect. I was hoping for something similar to Sicario, but sadly this was nothing like it.
