A Playful Misconception, A Childhood's Dream

Another good one by the Coen Brothers. This time, there weren’t any big names attached. And it still worked, because it was just so amusing.

The characterisations were over-the-top but in the right amount. The drama and situations were hilarious. The acting was top-notched. It was all very entertaining to see the characters search for meaning of life in their own ways and failing at it.

There’s a saying that goes, “Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.” I bet the Coen Brothers know this well.
