Audience Member So was this film scripted or did they just make it up as they went along? Here's a story and...well we solved it off camera. Oh No, someone has been kidnapped but thankfully someone else knows exactly where to find them and they're all alone when the guy shows up. And so forth and so on. Seriously, I can imagine the conversation, "So, a Hollywood star gets kidnapped", "OK, then what happens" "Ummm, I don't know, but another star's big secret is about to be revealed! "OK, what happens?" "Ummm...well we only have the actress for one day so we'll just have to say things worked out" If you're going to watch this film have low hopes, very low. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Paul S Despite its incredible cast, this movie's story was all over the place, and it didn't have the comedic thrill that other Coen Brothers' movies have. It was still really fun to watch, and the performances were incredible. I definitely recommend it for comedy fans! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Matthew T Hail, Caesar! is a lighthearted satire with a gentle bite of cynicism, critiquing the old studio system. The film explores the inherent contradictions of Hollywood—where business and art collide, inspiration coexists with cynicism, and innocence intertwines with sin. It serves as both a sharp commentary and a love letter to classic cinema. Technically well-crafted and superbly acted, the film carries the unmistakable quirks of a Coen Brothers comedy. However, while clever and well-paced, it isn’t particularly laugh-out-loud funny, and its narrative unfolds with subtlety. Watching Hail, Caesar! feels akin to experiencing a cinematic counterpart to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s unfinished Hollywood novel, The Last Tycoon, as it playfully satirizes the various genres that populate Turner Classic Movies. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Hackney G Hilarious commentary and beautifully shot 1950s scenes together. Brilliant. Coen Brothers do it again! And an all star cast! For those who gave it 1 star. Lol. Watch a load more movies and then you'll get it. Only 44% liked this? Crazy! Also where was the chase at the end? Did we watch different movies? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Jan P Biting satire of communism and capitalism. Absolutely hilarious. Recommended to first view with an edible, and then again without. Absolutely brilliant. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Arcane M Well. Due to current reviews. I felt myself to possibly feel underwhelmed by this movie. Seeing it as dull, dumb and truly meaningless. All of these things I saw a complete opposite in. This movie isn’t just one of the Coen Brother’s best but a true win for Hollywood. The film has a abundance of legendary actors & actresses including: Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Alden Ehrenreich, Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Scarlet Johansson, Tilda Swinton and Michael Gambon. The film bursts bold ideas and plots, set in a fast paced early 1950s while still emerging as quite timely. The comedy was hit upon hit upon hit, never disappointing. 3.5/5 stars Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
