Well made, well acted and well photographed in black and white by Roger Deakins, this is another typically quirky Coen Brothers film.
The plot is right out of a James M Cain novel with the very heavy hand of fate coming down hard on a barber and his wife trying to pull together money to open a dry cleaning business.
I hate to criticize such a well made film, but this story seems even colder than usual for the Coen Brothers. It's just very hard to work up any sympathy for any of these extremely unlikable characters.
Probably can't recommend this one although I usually enjoy their films.
Written by Joel and Ethan Coen as usual the film runs 116 minutes.
