Louis F @Rene.J 3d Putting the odd in Odyssey. See more Dan H @RT78920043 Aug 24 I was working away from home for about 5 years and I saw quite a few movies in the theater then. What's not to like? Coen Bros directing, John Goodman, George Clooney (although a lib-turd, but still an excellent actor) as Ulysses, Tim as Delmar, and John T as Pete. GREAT ACTING! GREAT STORY! GREAT DIRECTING! And the cinematography put you in the 1930s. Chris Thomas King as the fourth wheel is superb. I thought he played perfectly right. Like he knows he's black but the 3 guys are don't know he's black, to take him on. GREAT STUFF! Steven Root and Charles During absolutely round out this cast. What can I say about Stephen Roots as the blind station owner. Excellent! You go to a movie to forget your problems for a while, I just wish it had been longer. If you can't fall asleep, have problems at work, or your loved one just skedaddled, find this movie, turn your brain off, or at least take it out of drive. Get your favorite snack, & drink and have good time! See more lisa B @RT13259498 Aug 17 One of my favorites. The music is wonderful. See more Betty S @lizzerbetty Aug 15 Fun. Cutesy. Not really that good. What’s it with boyfriends and mid movie glazing? Sorry Zach. See more Harrison C @QwopEX Aug 14 Strangely funny, but with a lot of meaning. The actors were all amazing. See more Dakota P @DaCinephile Aug 3 O Brother, Where Art Thou operates at a level of serendipity that is only explained with degrees of mysticism. Watching the characters interact with that mysticism is rewarding. I was deeply disappointed learning the Coen brothers never actually read Homer’s Odyssey and the film’s references to the epic are created from memories of an adaption. I was excited to look for parallels, but the film felt exposed when they appeared on screen after knowing the substance behind them wasn’t present (Cooley’s greaves). Judging the film on its own merits, OBWAT boasts an excellent ensemble in an epic of their own. No one forgets “I Am Man of Constant Sorrow”, nor how the rest of the soundtrack dots through the move in meaningful ways. The cinematography is unique and engaging and the writing sharp. The world on screen is shared by believers, skeptics, and religious exploiters alike, where there is always room for each, and the balance of karmic justice is never lost. See more Read all reviews
