A Serious Man

I watched this movie on DVD, though I'm guessing if the Coen brothers could have distributed it on bagels they would have. Let's just say, if Ahmadinejad is ever convicted of anything at The Hague, his punishment will probably involve watching this movie on a continuous loop. This film won't be everyone's cup of Manischewitz, and it's not an especially great movie in general terms, but it's not a waste of time by any means. There are good moments, occasional funny moments (if not barrel rolls of laughter), and enough effective storytelling that, by the end, you do care about what happens to the protagonist. Worth a look on a rainy day.
