If Only I Could Give It A 6.7

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2018)

I am tempted to give it a higher score simply because of how I love the way the Coen Brothers craft their movies. This one has that classic touch of theirs: the scenes are meticulously staged, the dialogue is precise, the humor and commentary is perfectly delivered, each shot feels like an illustration, and the casting is on point.
Despite all of this, and many memorable moments throughout the film, it just seems like it was aiming to be so much more. I did, however, thoroughly enjoy its ending for it drove home a message that I think is quite important.
