A Serious Man

A Serious Man

 

Drama (1h 45min 21s)   Release date : 20/11/2009

Dir. Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Starring Michael Stuhlbarg, Sari Lennick

 Watch trailer

Rating :

Review by Ben Walters : 'Established religion offers Larry little consolation but the idea of faith, or at least good living, that emerges from his struggle matches the sensibility the Coens have unobtrusively espoused throughout their work: reject worldly status, bear trials with humility, find joy in fellow-feeling. Bad things happen to good people. To acknowledge - even, as storytellers, to embrace - this fact is not to indulge in nihilism, but to make more urgent the social task that might mitigate its effects. You better find somebody to love.'

Dir. Steven Soderbergh
Starring Matt Damon, Scott Bakula

Rating :

Review by David Jenkins : 'It may come across like a self-satisfied madcap bauble, but that titular exclamation mark is the key that unlocks the myriad subtextual delights of Soderbergh's timely latest, a flippant white-collar corporate caper that harks back to his delicious 1996 farce, ?Schizopolis'.

Starring Romola Garai, Bill Nighy

 Watch trailer

Rating :

Review by Dave Calhoun : 'A political yarn ? sometimes creepy, sometimes daft ? in the Hitchcockian vein, TV dramatist-playwright Stephen Poliakoff's first film for cinema in a decade is a claustrophobic drama relating to appeasement and the aristocracy in 1939.'
