The Coen brothers' new comedy isn't quite an homage to 1950s Hollywood, but it's not a spoof of it either -- it strikes that tone of crisp drollness that's their specialty and that some people misread as aloofness or contempt. But it's not.

This is fairly amusing if you can get past the Coens' erasure of the anticommunist witch hunts, which destroyed hundreds of lives.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

An unexpectedly sweet and utterly satisfying confection, a loving sendup of the Hollywood of yesteryear.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

Not one of the Coens' major works, but it's a very enjoyable lark, especially for fans of old Hollywood.
