Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016) by Mrtickle — 07 Mar 2016

Hail, Caesar! has a dry, deadpan humour to it that is like all Coen brothers films. And like many other Coen brothers films it has a surreal and abstract quality to it too. The story and theme is not clear at first, but it is a film to make you think, and once you realise what the film is about (hint: faith and the role you play in life) Hail, Caesar! becomes a film that is both a lover letter to 50's Hollywood and a deeper look at how a man trying to chose between taking a job that is easy but boring, or a job that is hard, muddled yet far more interesting.
