His dad… is that what he wanted to become or, rather, stay? That fueled his passion to succeed and made his perceived failure all the bitterer. F. Murray Abraham, as always, was spectacular in his cameo as the Chicago kingmaker. What a line, "I don't see any money there…."
Lots of quirky, human characters, including Goodman's turn as a bitter, aggressive jazzman: a nice contrast to the sympathetic Llewyn, who loved both animals and humans.
Even Llewyn's sister was note-perfect.
A gem, making me immediately wish to see O Brother again (Barton Fink was a cruel film, as I recall, though after your comments, I'll revisit it, too).
