O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) 7/10

Starring : George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman, Holly Hunter, Chris Thomas King, Charles Durning
Director : Joel & Ethan Coen
Running Time : 108 mins

Three escaped convicts in 1930s Mississippi form an unlikely alliance as they search for the buried money from one of their bank heists while being pursued by the law. On their journey they run into all manner of strange and unusual characters...

Like most Coen brothers movies, this one is difficult to describe and still do it justice. It is definitely of a kind and a lot of people will dislike it’s weird take on comedy and drama, but if you are a fan of the Coen brothers then you will enjoy this mid range effort from them. The pacing is a little slow, and the story a little old fashioned, but it is set in the 1930s so that actually works all the better.
