A Serious Man Critic Reviews

  • "A Serious Man is not exactly a happy story, but one of the things that makes it as involving as it is is the formidible filmmaking skill the Coens have honed in more than 25 years of collaboration." Los Angeles Times

    - Kenneth Turan

  • "...a wonderfully odd, bleakly comic and thoroughly engrossing film." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "A Serious Man is the kind of picture you get to make after you've won an Oscar. Precision is the name of the game in the writing, camera placement, editing, music choices and pitch of the performances." Variety
