      Though not as good as Coen brothers' classics such as Blood Simple, the delightfully loopy O Brother, Where Art Thou? is still a lot of fun.

      Irene M April 2024 I swear I have seen it before, but possibly I started it and didn't finish? I think I was too young the first time. this time, I see the satire, the humor, and the context. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Louis F Gets better on each re-watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S The soundtrack was great and so was the movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review lVlASONiC Forced to watch this as homework, and not expecting to enjoy it. But I ended up rewatching it twoce that week. It flawlessly captured the time period, weaving together fantastic music, brilliant comedy, and captivating storytelling. The film's twists, turns, and unexpected events kept me on the edge of my seat, ensuring it was always an entertaining journey. A true cinematic gem that delivers both nostalgia and surprises in a perfect harmony of humor and storytelling. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Ava S O Brother, Where Art Thou? weaves together quirky adventures of friendship where hilarity ensues, making it a heartwarming, yet laugh-out-loud and enjoyable experience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Loving Native English C The best movie ever made. I don´t know why it is not in the top 100s of all time. Blood Simple, they say was better, which is also written by the Cohen Bros. I think I shall watch that movie now. Thank you Rotton Tomatoes for existing.

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media Teens might enjoy this offbeat Odyssey adaptation. Rated: 4/5 Dec 26, 2010 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader After making what are still probably their two best features, the Coen brothers came up with their worst, a piece of pop nihilism. Nov 7, 2007 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out Great dialogue, superb 'Scope camerawork from Roger Deakins, and a genuinely wondrous deus ex machina are among the delights. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) O Brother, Where Art Thou? might be a perfect move. Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies O Brother, Where Art Thou? is probably not the first film that one thinks of when it comes to George Clooney or the Coen brothers but it's still a pretty fun satire and masterpiece over 23 years later. Rated: 5/5 Dec 24, 2023 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Simply the Coens luxuriating in a period setting and having a great time. Rated: B+ Sep 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
