It never fully convinces in terms of either period or plot.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

The Coens' take on Depression-era gangster flicks, looks gorgeous and showcases John Turturro's best acting ever.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's arguably the US mainstream's first art movie since Days of Heaven; and quite wonderful.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Without much point at all.
