Critics Consensus

Bolstered by powerful lead performances from Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Tommy Lee Jones, No Country for Old Men finds the Coen brothers spinning cinematic gold out of Cormac McCarthy's grim, darkly funny novel.

Bharat W

One of the best Coen Brothers films to date and one of the most flawless films of all time - should be studied in film school and by 95% of all directors in Hollywood. The theme is constructed and articulated by delivering each scene with detail and perfection. While each cast member gives their best performance, Javier Bardem indubitably takes the crown by delivering one of the most haunting villains to walk the screen in modern cinema. It's an epic expose of human tragedy that unfolds with desperate aspirations, compromises, and false perceptions of the unyielding and indiscriminate forces of life. Each watch reveals another missed nuance and subtleties layered in otherwise minimalist dialogue. Bravo to the Coen Brothers for respecting film audiences by demonstrating the superiority of their craft and delivering us a masterpiece.

Peak plot. Love the villian. It's totally not common to see the villian get the dub. Love it.

A truly disturbing antagonist having me on the edge of my seat when he hunts his victims. Also, a very punchy opening.

Roger Deakins’s cinematography is as much a star of the film as any of the cast.

London Evening Standard

The lack of respect for the body, the sheer bloody aftermath depresses me. Yes, they may handle the killing with verve and ironic tension, but this is a Coen brothers film too far.

For the Win (USA Today)

This is easily one of the best films the Coens have made, and it’s absolutely one of the greats we’ll remember for decades to come.

A model of simple, strong, evocative storytelling pared down to the bone, 'No Country' is filled with richly-drawn characters and an enthralling story that builds merciless momentum.
