A Serious Man Review By John C.
**** (out of 4)
A Serious Man is brilliantly comedic, and darkly brilliant. Both overtly religious and profoundly poetic, it’s rare to see a film of such subject matter even get a semi-mainstream release. Some may find the last scene to be annoying or confusing, but I thought it was brilliant genius.
Very deserving of its Best Picture nomination - A Serious Man is a serious masterpiece.

A Serious Man Review By Erin V.
**** (out of 4)
This is one of the best films of last year, a fact that was recognized by the Academy with a well deserved Best Picture nomination. The acting is all solid, the music fits really well, and the story is executed with classic Coen style. I would definitely recommend you checking this one out. It’s a dark comedy, and not everyone will enjoy it as much as I did, but it is well worth at least checking out for yourself.

The Coen Brothers have returned with this quirky and funny comedy. With a hilarious story, great writing, and lots of quirky characters, it’s no wonder this comedy has been nominated for Best Picture.

A Serious Man Review By Maureen
**** (out of 4)
What works for A Serious Man is the low key, quirky humour. Each of the characters are so well written and really fun to watch. The acting is top notch. A Serious Man was fun to watch in the theatre but is the kind of movie that you can watch more than once and always get more out of it each time. It’s not surprising A Serious Man is nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

A Serious Man Review By Tony
**** (out of 4)
With a brilliant script, excellent mainly Jewish cast and every detail of 1960s suburbia lovingly reproduced, A Serious Man is full of wit and a joy to watch, another triumph from its quirky writer/directors.

Consensus: A Serious Man is another great dark-comedy from the Coen brothers. Though it’s not actually going to win, it’s very deserving of its Oscar nomination for Best Picture. **** (Out of 4)
