An Excellent Film by the Coens!

on June 22, 2016

Posted by: Givevision

If you are a fan of film history, a fan of the Coens' work, a fan of comedy - a movie lover in any way, shape, or form - make a point to see this film! It is an absolute delight! Brilliant, I say! I happily purchased a copy the week it became available.

It is wrought with so many magical things, I already want to see it again!

I feel bad about the bad reviews from consumers that it has occasionally received. Rotten Tomatoes has it at an 84%, which is a great score. Most critics truly enjoyed the film. Maybe what critics say doesn't matter to you. That's great, I respect that. Please allow me, a film lover and regular Joe, to tell you what I think of the movie.

I feel one has to understand the history of both film and America's history of the time period to fully appreciate this film. Those with negative feelings towards this movie perhaps aren't fully aware of the time period it is representing. This movie impeccably, magnificently paints that time period. And, it does so in such a fun way, with such wonderful character brought to life by some fantastic actors.

I talked to some people who saw the movie once and didn't really appreciate it, but then saw it again and truly loved it. I have found that filmmakers such as the Coens make movies that demand at the very least a second viewing. They are super thoughtful filmmakers who don't make typical movies, and I have found personally that there isn't a Coen film I haven't appreciated more with multiple viewings. You pick up on things, you appreciate things, you see the subtle humor and the subtle messages.

This movie is funny, even with my first viewing I laughed out loud a lot, but beyond that, it has some truly poignant themes that resonated with me personally. Themes of how to balance work and family, and what truly matters when it comes to a career - money, or a personal satisfaction in your work?

Really great stuff! This movie is great. Give it a shot! And, if you already have given it a shot, give it another. It is a film that deserves more appreciation that it is getting. It really is quite brilliant.

I would recommend this to a friend!
