Magic Marmalade 🍰 18th Nov 2023		- And let's not linger too long on: Burn After Reading...(yikes!) I think the problem with this one is they've struck gold in capturing that quirky, odd tone in Fargo, and tried to replicate it here without success. Difficult to do, as the quality that makes Fargo so brilliant is created through the sum of it's parts, with no individual element - script, performances, aesthetic etc. being the sole essence of it.... It's movie making alchemy, magic that you feel perhaps they wouldn't know if they'd achieved it until they saw what came out the other end, and while you're doing it it, there's no way to know if you have it or not. Very fine line between brilliance and boredom.



alexlincs 17th Nov 2023		@Magic Marmalade I agree it is one of their weaker movies, but they did raise the bar incredibly high with Fargo, Barton Fink and The Big Lewbowski. I think their worst are Intolerable Cruelty and the remake of The Ladykillers.



Magic Marmalade 🍰 16th Nov 2023		Rated 6/10 Only mildly amusing, and mildly interesting from Coens, and probably one of their weakest movies. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
