- S: Even though a lot of what happens is ridiculous, it is set-up in a way that flows logically (for the most part).
- C: Although there is nothing spectacular about the shot choices or production design, the cinematography is flawless and often provides a subtle, subconscious addition to the story.
- E: Incredible acting and brilliant writing make this such a fun watch. Never a dull moment.
- N: All the simultaneous storylines play together excellently.
- T: The film received three bonus points: one for Brad Pitt's stellar performance, one for John Malkovich's brilliant anger, and one for casting as a whole.
An underrated Coen film in my opinion. Just the perfect blend of real and absurd, funny and serious, meaningfull and meaningless.
