Review of A Serious Man (2009) by Roryb — 15 Dec 2009
I don't mind a bit of mystery at the end of a movie. Draw your own conclusions and all. But this stopped short of that. Way short of it! Larry gets a call from his doctor to come in and discuss an X-ray (no outcome) and there is a tornado bearing down on his son (no outcome).
The whole time while everyone is abusing the utterly pathetic and unassertive Larry, you are rooting for him to grow a pair... but nothing... he remains pathetic throughout the movie. And what was the point of the opening scene set in the distant past.
.. pointless! PS: I'm a big Coen brothers fan... was really looking forward to it.
