It seems like the idea of falling down the "rabbit hole" seems to be a recurring theme in much of the Coen brothers' films, but A Serious Man seems to top it off. Not only do you have the beautifully painted idiosyncrasies in both characters and story-telling, but it's masterfully crafted for you to enjoy things as simple as a bar-mitzvah or something as horrifying as one's increasingly dissociated well-being. It's wacky. It's murky. But you can't deny the fact that it's downright fun. Especially if you've been exposed to some of the stereotypical Jewish mentality and subculture, you'll get plenty of kicks out of this one. 8.4/10.
