Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

“What did you guys think of the ending? Personally, I loved it. It's classic Coen brothers ambiguity but I think it fits perfectly with the story of Llewyn Davis.”

“At the end, he is satisfied. I think his "au revoir" to the old man that said he was leaving this cesspool was Llewyn saying "au revoir" to his riches and fame.

He came home.”

Musically, Llewyn comes across as scrappy and soulful. He's just the person I'd want singing those sad, world-weary folk songs, at least compared to the cleaner- cut performers he ”
