I used to love the Coen Brothers movies. I'm rendered speechless at how tedious and unfunny their latest work is. Maybe you have to be Jewish? How anyone can view this as one of the best of the year is beyond me. What a sad state. At I used to love the Coen Brothers movies.

Saw the movie with the wife on a special date night. It was a complete mistake. A quick summery might be, selfish people consistently doing selfish horrible things to each other.

Another Coen brothers inside joke movie...Please get back to what made you guys great. Lebowski, Fargo, and No Country were pure magic. Beyond that, it's been nothing but crap.

I found the film loathsome with no redeeming characters. As sensitive as the leading man was, he was reactive in every situation, not allowing the audience to relate to him or be intrigued. The only reason I gave it a 1 is a tribute to the I found the film loathsome with no redeeming characters.

Once again the critics blew it! the only value for me in seeing this movie is to further my understanding as to: 1. Why some people are antisemitic, 2. To realize how far afoot the majority of Jewish people are from the portrayals depicted Once again the critics blew it! the only value for me in seeing this movie is to further my understanding as to: 1. Why some people are antisemitic, 2. To realize how far afoot the majority of Jewish people are from the portrayals depicted in the movie. 3. To be grateful that my Temple and Rabbi , and for that manner most Rabbis with whom I have dealt are functioning on a different place than was was depicted in :Serious Man" and 4. To reaffirm my belief that Judaism now and historically has had some of the brightest, most creative, and philanthropic individuals in the world. Mankind has advanced because of the Jewish people.

This movie sucks! Plain and simple. If I paid to see this at the movies I would have been angry. As it it, I'm angry for paying attention to Ebert. I lost 90 minutes of good living time. This jackass, Ebert, has no credibility at all. HeThis movie sucks! Plain and simple. If I paid to see this at the movies I would have been angry. As it it, I'm angry for paying attention to Ebert. I lost 90 minutes of good living time. This jackass, Ebert, has no credibility at all. He rates every Disney movie pretty high. He was their lackey for quite some time so it should be no surprise. I guess he smooches the Coens' butts too.. Expand

An inside joke that never comes to life. A truly awful film, with nothing to recommend it. Self-indulgent and appalling. The work of narcissists.

This was the worst movie ever. Painful to sit through. It was so incredibly boring. Every minute was torture. The characters are boring, unattractive, smug, and pathetic. There is absolutely nothing worthwhile about this movie.

Don't waist your money and time. Awful movie. Denigrates everything it presents. Denigrates life, religion, jewish people, korean people, honesty, religion. The only message it sends is that life makes no sense. So why the Coens stay in Don't waist your money and time. Awful movie. Denigrates everything it presents.

I'm, Jewish, and I HATED this movie. The critics blew it. Again. Another unfunny "black" comedy. I couldn't wait for it to end. Worst movie I've seen in many, many years.
