Critic Reviews

It's a wild, whacked-out wonder. Coenheads rejoice.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

It is, all in all, a rambunctious and inspired ride in which the Coen brothers' voracious fascination with the arcana of American popular culture and their whiz-kid inventiveness reach new heights of whimsy.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

It's a new new thing, classic myth from both literature and the movies, commingled, set to great folk music, and untrammeled by any sense of predictability, urgency, realism or believability but hypnotic, graceful and seductive.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

Enlivening things to an unprecedented extent, the songs turn O Brother into perhaps the warmest production in the Coens' repertoire.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

A charming, if lightweight, Coen brothers escapade flecked by plenty of visual and performance grace notes.Full Review
