Emporers new clothes

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2016)

I find watching a Coen brothers film a strange experience. I quite enjoy their films but i'm not sure why? I don't think their films are particularly funny , in fact most of the time i don't even get them . It's as if i should be laughing but i'm not in on their private joke. Hail , Caesar is about a fixer in Hollywood ( Josh Brolin) who is paid by the studio to keep the actors in line. There are some interesting performances from George Clooney and Alden Ehrenreich and a very camp but hypnotic musical scene lead by Channing Tatum . The critics really liked this , i think , because it's about the industry they critic on but for me it was just another oddly entertaining Coen brothers film that i have many times before.
