Not that anyone here needs convincing, but check out the reviews and all of the high praise for NCFOM

Entertainment Weekly gave it an "A-" today which is very good for that mag. In fact every line praised the Coen Bros. so I wasn't sure why an "A-" instead of an "A" but maybe I'm splittin' hairs here.

Just to show it's not all straight A's here's a dissenting voice;

Rosenbaum's pretty well respected, but some of his ideas here are a bit wack to say the least.

Rosenbaum is a HERETIC! :wink:

rosenbaum seems to have a bias towards the subject matter more than anything, and tries (as always) to identify with why people write about stuff like this. usually i'd say that he reads to much into movies, but on this one i think he hasn't looked into it enough. he seems under the impression that the coens just made a lavish gorefest, and no one will care about the rest, but the film is so much more than that.

in short...i disagree with rosenbaum.
