Life often has no rhyme or reason. One of the Coen’s most underrated.
Steph

Scratches the itch of wanting a movie like Vivarium or Greener Grass. Strange in the best kind of way but I wasn’t wowed by it.

Coen Bros. science teacher harassed by spoiled children, estranged wife, mean students, seeks guidance from God. God is having too much fun.

Bizarre in ways only the Coens can pull off. Its ending is an off putting cop out, but some people defend it.
Warren

Incredibly unique film. Leaves the audience in a state of questioning their existence and their approach to life.

Highly underrated Coen brothers movie. Michael Stuhlbarg really deserved an Oscar nod for his performance, and so did Richard Kind.
Porter Williams

Explores the concept of wrathful and unforgiving God, and what He does to those to give in to sin. Another fantastic Coen brothers' piece.

Not to everyone's taste, but it is truly an excellently movie.

“Just look at that parking lot...” There’s not much else to say. At times hilarious and at others absurd, just like life. A masterpiece.
