I loved it. I just went into the cinema and bought a ticket without knowing anything about the movie, spent 10 minutes figuring out what it’s about, then the rest just amazed at how lucky I was (after all the junk I see from time to time). When it finished I really wanted to find out who directed it, and when the credits came…well, it all made sense. Cohen brothers, and would you expect anything but excellence?
Don’t read too much into it. Yes, it says that even the best plans can be laid to waste by some dumb fluke, but basically it’s one of these movies where you have to sit back and enjoy the intricately woven plot, the pace of the editing, the overall feel of it. At least that’s what I did. Good fun.
