A SERIOUS MAN (2009) - Sept. 14, 2009
A bizarre Coen brothers film about a man having some problems in his life, both at home and at work. I'm really not sure what to make of this movie -- I was definitely quite entertained throughout, but the movie was quite odd and featured an ending that was less than conclusive, putting it mildly. And yet there was something strangely satisfying about that crazy ending; it seemed like the perfect conclusion to this particular film, despite its abruptness. Michael Stuhlbarg was certainly quite good in the main role, and the film was really well directed and featured a surfeit of the memorable dialogue that the Coens are known for. ***
