Seeing the freedom the Coens had in making this omnibus of Western ‘shorts’ is delightful, though it is a minor work with inherent unevenness.
Category / Coen, Joel & Ethan
Hail, Caesar! (2016)
A light-hearted romp in the park that is true to the Coens’ off-kilter style, even if it doesn’t hold a candle to some of their finer works.
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
A soulful effort that is one of the Coens very best, with a broodingly excellent performance by Oscar Issac.
True Grit (2010)
The Coens’ take on the Western could be the definitive adaptation of Charles Portis’ novel – beautifully-shot and scored.
Serious Man, A (2009)
Burn After Reading (2008)
A smart movie about stupid people, this is the Coens having fun with their material and cast.
