Joel Coen
Reviews Featuring Joel Coen
An odd cross between a farcical comedy and a crime thriller, with some peculiar characters in an unusual setting. It shouldnt work but it does, resulting in a fine film that defies expectations.
The Coen brothers are capable of better, but when it takes other Hollywood competition to court, 'Intolerable Cruelty' comes out with the winning verdict. Mainstream enough to get a general audience, quirky enough to keep fans of 'Raising Arizona' and 'The Big Lebowski' smiling.
A film to give you a nice Ealing all over.
The Coens have delivered a superb follow up to their masterful No Country for Old Men by not even trying to do something similar.
Take a crime drama, add some modern-day Western-ness, throw in some dark humor, and watch some perfectly cast actors act their socks off, and youve got the most deserving Best Picture winner in years.
An excellent stoner comedy with the right mix of brains, laughs and memorable characters. The Coen Brothers' finest? It's a close one.
The Coen Brothers surpass the original thanks to their trademark humour, gorgeous cinematography and a host of excellent performances.
The Coen Brothers once again show what you can do with perfectly realised characters, an awesome soundtrack and a wonderful storyline. A depression-era movie that's far from depressing.
