Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The (2018)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 2018, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • 1 Comment

Seeing the freedom the Coens had in making this omnibus of Western ‘shorts’ is delightful, though it is a minor work with inherent unevenness.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Hail, Caesar! (2016)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 2016, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • Leave a comment

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan, Criterion Collection
  • 2013, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA

The Coens pull off one of the finest films of the decade in this soulful and enigmatic effort starring a broodingly good Oscar Issac.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

True Grit (2010)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 2010, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • 3 Comments

The Coens’ take on the Western could be the definitive adaptation of Charles Portis’ novel – beautifully-shot and scored.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

A smart movie about stupid people, this is the Coens having fun with their material and cast.

No Country for Old Men (2007)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 2007, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • 9 Comments

This slow-burn crime-thriller is arguably the Coens’ finest achievement.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Big Lebowski, The (1998)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 1998, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • 1 Comment

This wild concoction of profane humour and bizarre antics, and an unusual narrative that doesn’t quite amount to anything, is perhaps the most cultish of all Coens’ pictures, but not necessarily one of their best.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fargo (1996)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 1996, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • 4 Comments

The Coens’ sense of the macabre is near-perfected in one of their most beloved films.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Barton Fink (1991)

  • Coen, Joel & Ethan
  • 1991, Joel & Ethan Coen, USA
  • 2 Comments

One of the Coens’ very best – a fine character study and a strong allegory of what is rotten about Hollywood filmmaking.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
