Makes absolutely no sense. Some unusual acting - basically filling space, to make a movie that hardly entertains. Just because the Coen brothers can come up with brilliance from time to time, doesn't mean one should waste time on something like this. Entertainment? Hardly. Plot - none. Well there is a plot - the role of an auteur is to entice viewers to be drawn into some meaning, some reason to keep watching. In the end, the only reason to rent, watch this movie, is to see what nonsense will ensue - if that is a good world for it. This is a complete waste of time - the fact that the Coen's have the ability to gather actors who are always compelling, is no reason to release a movie. If this were anyone author producer/directors, would it even attract attention. Well maybe because Brad Pitt, George Cloony and a relative host of "stellar" performers. But, as the famous guy said, Stupid is as Stupid does. This is stupid, and not even entertaining, when one gets down to hit. Its really not even a 5 out of 10, but I watched it, so I give myself 1 or 2 for even thinking about it - and if anyone actually likes it, well everyone is entitled to an opinion.
