Rotten
A jeering, dreamlike comedy with nothing much on its mind except how neat the Coen brothers are and how stupid or contemptible everybody else is, including everyone in the audience.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Nearly everything in the Coen brothers' latest and biggest film seems like a wizardly but artificial synthesis, leaving a hole in the middle where some emotion and humanity should be.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Fresh
A minor work, but confirmation of the Coens' position among America's most ambitious, able and exciting film-makers.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
Movies are, after all, about fakery; so is the story of Norville's rise and fall and redemption.
Caryn James, New York Times
