A Serious Man

Not to be confused with the other Oscar-nominated movie, A Single Man, this movie is from the Coen Brothers who also brought you: No Country for Old Men, O Brother Where Art Thou, Fargo and many more. A Serious Man has interesting characters (like Richard Kind's Uncle Arthur) and an interesting concept in a middle-age man's world seeming to crumble all around him. There were enjoyable moments but really you walk away thinking what just happened here? I give it a half a thumb up for the character writing and acting but overall I was just plain dumbfounded.

Except that I was always confusing it with A Single Man! And second, it's the Coen brothers, what did you expect?
