not dreadful in that it has smut in it or bloody horror. I'm a fan of that.

it's just dreadfully boring. I can watch parliament but this is just horrible. I was drawn to the movie poster and thought it looked good. please trust me and do not watch this tripe.

some movie sites rate this film. I can only think they took bribes or say every film is good to keep their jobs.

It is described as a black comedy - drama which means it could be anything

It has been put up for some serious awards

Best suggestion if anyone finds this film boring then give up

I will make a point of watching it. Should be good. Under no circumstances be guided by zorro..or ebul!

Of course zorro...and ebul, are free to write whatever comes to mind. But i don`t like this kind of freedom if they start commentating on works of art.
What do they know!
Zorro writes because its nice to fill up the lines with pretty little letters, and ebul an original thought sometimes comes into his head.
But then he gets confused and we are back were we started.

Some of the Coen bros early films were good but there's something of the Emperors new clothes about a lot of the tripe they churn out.

Yes Baron one can only tell the same joke so many times

I have watched films highly rated which have been poor

I have films that have been rubbished which are brilliant

We just have to watch it and see....I will test the waters for 10 mins then decide

i enjoyed hail caesar. enjoyed it a lot.

anyhoo, if you're looking for a nice cheery friday night jape, might I suggest Leviathan (Andrey Zvyagintsev - 2014). Full of the sort of cheery optimism you'd expect from the Russians.

Cheery Friday night yer after?

Try these two on Film 4 in the last week.

Starred Up

A Prophet (subtitles)

Prison drama at its best (or worst)

already seen those.

laugh a minute.


Starred up is pretty bleak, reminding me of scum.(wtf is he doing with that baby oil - oh, now i understand)

A Prophet (which i've watched at least three times) is outstanding.

i never connected the Cohen bros with this at all - liked all the other ones... but this was like eating sand. dry.blank staring.turgid.one level bull. it wasn't even original. I'n sure alan alda done a film in the seventies like it. ssssssssoooooooooooo boring. I will seek out copies to burn.

at the age of fifty - I figure I've seen an average of two films a day. say about thirty thousand films at least. They made 450,000 so far.

i rank this film at number 400,786. just behind a keystone cop silent film i saw when i was ten.

I can comment on its artistic merit... because I work as an Artist. Also because I didn't give up on it all the way through. I wanted this film to be something. I rented it thinking this will be good. Only a clergyman with a broom secreted upon his person could like this mince.

it's a pretty well regarded film.

perhaps you just didn't understand it.

zorro as far as i can see you are not an artist, merely a man on the street talking nonsense.
Letting yourself think otherwise is something you should avoid.

dont think what other think should influence your own feelings about a film.

but still there are enough critics that disliked it, maybe these people who make their living watching and reviewing films didnt understand it either Confused

I agree brendan - you shouldn't. For example Avatar is a steaming pile of sh1t, (albeit the pile of sh1t in question is beautifully rendered in stunning CGI)  but at the same time, it's possible that if you rate something so poorly and others rate it so highly that you might be missing something. You might not.

There is enough discussion on the internet on this film to see if you're missing something.

Usual stuff from the overrated Coen Brothers, they overdo the comedy and it turns into farce.

lfc1971   -  round balls - i sell paintings on canvas - that makes me an artist - movie makers are not artists they are movie makers. Artist if you sculpt paint or draw. not a pop star(musician) or film maker. soon have my bins picked up by an artist if he's really good at it. he was an artist on the football pitch. stop talkin balls.

I am glad to hear that you are an artist zorro. When you are painting you can`t be doing anything stupid.

Liked the line in the final credits: "No Jews were harmed in the making of this film."

Also, can someone put kenny's mind to rest and confirm that Schroedinger's cat was all right when they opened the box?
