When physics professor Larry Gopnik's well-organised life begins to unfold around him he takes refuge in a local motel and seeks advice from a series of rabbis, but none of them - it seems - has the wisdom to help him solve the problems of a socially inept brother who won't move out, his wife and her lover's demands for a divorce, or the student who's trying to bribe him for a pass at a time when he risks losing all hope of getting tenure. |

The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw | Screenrush Barometer:  |
| 'Euphoric, sad and thoughtful all at once, this strange and wonderful film is rounded off with a gloriously well-crafted apocalyptic vision and a chilling intimation of divine retribution for earthly wrongdoing. The Coens have finished the noughties as America's pre-eminent film-makers.' |
| Time Out - Ben Walters | Screenrush Barometer: |
| '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.' |
