Beautifully photographed. Great performances from Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider.

The Coen brothers use their strange sense of humor perfectly in A Serious Man. Their use of humor allows the audience to settle into the uncomfortable every-man qualities portrayed in Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg). Filled with memorable performances all around and a great script, A Serious Man makes for a great movie-going experience.
