Not one of the Coens' major works, but it's a very enjoyable lark, especially for fans of old Hollywood.

An unexpectedly sweet and utterly satisfying confection, a loving sendup of the Hollywood of yesteryear.

This is fairly amusing if you can get past the Coens' erasure of the anticommunist witch hunts, which destroyed hundreds of lives.

fresh:
The Coen brothers' new comedy isn't quite an homage to 1950s Hollywood, but it's not a spoof of it either -- it strikes that tone of crisp drollness that's their specialty and that some people misread as aloofness or contempt. But it's not.

fresh:
Their latest, Hail, Caesar!, is their giddiest comedy to date, but it's also hit-and-miss within itself.
