The emerging folk scene has yet to produce a star, although it does not want for talent, notably singer-songwriter Llewyn Davis. But it’s hard to stay positive when your career is flailing, you’ve outstayed your welcome on all your friends’ couches, and you may have got your best mate’s girlfriend pregnant.

List of Awards:

Cannes Film Festival: Grand Prix

Critic Quote(s):

The direction is pitch-perfect; the characters unique and eccentric yet fully realised and the script, woven with absurdist comedy, a marvel. (Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, Metro)
