8 - Great

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2016)

This movie is a beautiful mess. First and foremost, it's a laugh out loud hilarious farcical comedy with an pleasantly odd sense of humor and a penchant for satire. It's also a crime drama with some mystery and mind bending elements. The acting is great and the directing has a level of meticulousness and polish to be admired.
It has a way of making a simple story needlessly complex and adds unresolved plot threads on top of unresolved plot threads with a badge of honor. It even piled up so many meandering elements, that it's confused in itself. The Big Lebowski is what America is, at least if you're looking at it from the view of a Coen Brother.
