A Coen Brothers triumph!

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2015)

From beginning to end I relished every second of this movie, and I returned to delight in it several more times. Was there a bad performance? A resounding NO! Was the screenplay and directing first rate? A resounding YES! Everyone of the cast, major or minor, was just wonderful but for me Brad Pitt (poor pliable, innocent Chad) stood out but just by a little but it's a big little!. How can anyone find fault with the performances of McDormand, Clooney, Malkovich, Swinton, Jenkins, Simmons, and on and on! The Coen's, I presume, are master's of coaxing out the best of the actors and I'm a Coen Brother's fan with some minor exceptions. I encourage all those with an IQ over 100 to watch this film as it is a gem to be savored multiple times. Brilliant movie!
