Critics Consensus

Blending dark humor with profoundly personal themes, the Coen brothers deliver what might be their most mature -- if not their best -- film to date.

I've tried watching A Serious Man a few times over the years. The first time, I was disappointed by its lack of the dark comedy or tense, twisty plotting I'd come to expect if the Coen brothers. This most recent time, I tried to watch without any preconceived opinions. As a story, there's not much there. It's about a beleaguered guy who never wins. I'd say unless someone is very familiar with Jewish culture, they might see it the same way. This movie is bold, daring non-Jewish viewers to figure out the Jewish terminology, customs and attitudes. Casting was seemingly done by someone on a mission to find every stereotype represented. They did a great job, as did the terrific cast.

A disappointing offering from the brothers Coen. Story meanders and the pacing is choppy and one-speed navel gazing. Plotline and character arcs disconnected. A real step down from two of the best filmmakers around. Quality and depth nowhere close to the level of Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, Oh Brother, even the Big Lebowski.

Meh, not my cup of tea... The intro was really interesting, but as the time passed, I just kept yawning.

A man's life begins to unravel when his wife suddenly wants a divorce setting off a series of downturns in his life to the point where he seeks the advice of his rabbi in this interesting film by the Coen brothers heavily steeped in the Jewish culture. Same problems with alternate ways of dealing with them. This one probably has the least amount of signature Coen quirkiness and while it's a fine film with a great cast, not one of my favourites of theirs.

This is a very quirky film - I suppose its fairly typical Coen brothers material to an extent, depicting the downfall of someone in a quite specific way, centering on a community of Jews. Its not exactly greatly comedic in an obvious, visual way but I did find it amusing at times. Its hard to put my finger on where the comedy comes from, I suppose its to do with the mundanity of many things building up certain consequences - it'd be hard not to feel sorry for the main character, Larry Gopnik. I'm not Jewish but I can only imagine some of said situations/circumstances. I enjoyed the film, I felt it was reasonably well made, even though I probably didn't fully 'get' all the references and so on. If your a fan of the Coen brothers work, then I would recommend this film - if not then this may or may not appeal to you. If it sounds a bit niche/bizarre, then perhaps give this a miss.

The Spectator

Does have its delicious moments and Michael Stuhlbarg does give an excellent, exasperated, frazzled lead performance... But without any warmth or expansiveness it all seems too cruelly easy and shrivelling somehow.

The Atlantic

The entire script is a mishmash: funny, droll, and anxiety producing, just like daily life in many Jewish families.

For the Win (USA Today)

The Coens are some of the most interesting directors to ever explore Biblical dynamics in their movies, and A Serious Man is easily one of their best.

Deep Focus Review

A tremendously complicated, intelligent, and intriguing motion picture, and arguably the Coen brothers' best, A Serious Man is curious as a narrative but wholly momentous as a parable.

Rated: 4/4

I loved the Tale of the Goy's Teeth. This parable is worth the (exorbitant) price of admission.
