Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Mostly, A Serious Man succeeds because it engages questions worth asking. What is integrity? Does our atavistic need for stories illuminate the meaning of life or further obfuscate it? What does it mean to be good and how are we to achieve it?

Their most inside joke ever, it leaves you with a lot to chew on, if not a lot to enjoy.
– Roger Moore,

fresh:
The film's potency is rooted in quiet precision and detailed realisation. Roger Deakins's typically polished photography gives an oppressively hard edge to Midwestern suburbia.

If you're puzzled by the Coen Brothers' horrific comedies, this is the closest thing you'll get to an explanation.

The Coens may play around with that tradition, they may disparage it or mock it. But they are irrevocably a part of it, and that's all to the good.
