I knew to expect brilliance from the Coen Brothers but I simply wasn't prepared for this.
It is one of those rare films that left me staggering out of the cinema, bewildered, knowing that I've experienced something significant but not knowing what it is or how to articulate what I feel. A true work of art.
The film is split down the middle. The filmmakers realize that their audience is all of thinking humanity. It provides an equally strong message for people of faith and superstition and for those who choose to rely on reason and evidence to carry on through their lives.
