Sean and Amanda pick up their yearlong countdown of the 25 best 21st-century films by spotlighting the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis. They argue that Oscar Isaac’s raw, vulnerable turn as a struggling folk musician and the film’s sharp mix of gut-punch drama and sly comedy make it a more compelling Coen choice than No Country for Old Men.
Along the way, they celebrate Inside Llewyn Davis as one of cinema’s definitive artist-struggle tales and trace how this breakout role set Isaac on the path to stardom.
