Amazing, original, intense

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2008)

Truly a stunning movie and a welcome return to the screen for the Coens after so many years in the wilderness.
What really struck me most about this film was the stillness and silence, conveyed so expertly even in the outdoor locations. We get the very real feeling that life moves slowly in Texas.
There is a definite departure from the usual narrative style we are so used to from Hollywood in this movie. It's been said before but what you don't see is more interesting than what you do. Difficult to explain without giving away the plot so just watch it to see what I mean!
Go in with an open mind and prepare to be challenged.
