Filmmaking duo Joel and Ethan Coen write, produce, and direct this period black comedy set in 1967 concerning a Midwestern physics professor whose staid and stable life slowly begins to unravel after his wife announces that she's leaving him. As if the failure of his longtime marriage wasn't enough for Larry Gopnik (Tony-nominated Michael Stuhlbarg) to contend with, now his socially inept brother refuses to move out of the house as well. Larry is a modest man of science. Up to this point, his life has been uneventful at best, but things are about to get interesting. When his wife, Judith, announces that she is leaving him to move in with his smug colleague Sy Ableman, Larry does his best to contend with his failed marriage while barely tolerating his unemployable brother, Arthur, who appears to have grown roots on Larry's couch. Meanwhile, Larry's son, Danny, is getting into trouble at Hebrew school, and his daughter, Sarah, is stealthily snatching money from his wallet so she can afford a nose job. As Judith and Sy merrily begin making plans for their new life of domestic bliss together, Larry begins receiving a series of anonymous letters from someone who seems intent on sabotaging his chance for tenure at the university. To further complicate matters, a graduate student with failing grades is attempting to bribe the professor while simultaneously threatening him with a defamation lawsuit. Larry is in some serious need of equilibrium, though it's hard to focus on getting your life in order when your beautiful neighbor insists on sunbathing in the nude just outside your window. Perhaps by seeking the advice of three trusted rabbis, Larry can finally learn to cope with his afflictions and become a genuine mensch. A Serious Man is the second in a two-picture deal that the siblings made with Focus Features and Working Title. The first film in the deal, entitled Burn After Reading and starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Frances McDormand, was released nationwide in September 2008. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For A Serious Man
New Review For Movie A Serious Man
The Coens may play around with that tradition, they may disparage it or mock it. But they are irrevocably a part of it, and that's all to the good.Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
If you're puzzled by the Coen Brothers' horrific comedies, this is the closest thing you'll get to an explanation.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday
The film's potency is rooted in quiet precision and detailed realisation. Roger Deakins's typically polished photography gives an oppressively hard edge to Midwestern suburbia.
Ben Walters-Time Out
Their most inside joke ever, it leaves you with a lot to chew on, if not a lot to enjoy.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
Mostly, A Serious Man succeeds because it engages questions worth asking. What is integrity? Does our atavistic need for stories illuminate the meaning of life or further obfuscate it? What does it mean to be good and how are we to achieve it?
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
Life is pain. Life is funny. Things happen randomly, with no purpose or reason that can be discerned. Searching for answers is futile. Enjoy what you can.
Tom Long-Detroit News
For all the droll wit on display, it's hard to warm to the Coens' chilly parable. Is Larry's suffering the work of God or the Devil, or just the random chaos of an indifferent universe? Arch-ironists to their fingertips, the Coens aren't telling.
Jason Best-Movie Talk
I guess gleeful misanthropy wasn't enough for the Coen Brothers. Now they want to make it clear that God ... excuse me, Hashem ... is an unforgiving bastard.
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Brilliant but bleak comedy for mature Coen brothers fans.
James Rocchi-Common Sense Media
Joel and Ethan Coen love to play God; they put their characters through hell, torturing them endlessly and treating them with disdain before finally giving them peace (usually through death, madness or some form of imprisonment).
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
[A] film to be intuitively understood on an almost gut level and discussing it at length later to unravel its nuances is part of the pleasure of seeing such a film.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy
A sincerely sympathetic portrait of an American family man in crisis -- even as it insults its characters and derides their culture.
Michael Atkinson-Sight and Sound
It's serious about the craft of storytelling, both in form and function, with a dedication to characterization, pitch-perfect performances, and a cinematic backdrop that is both severely nostalgic and completely immersive.
Monika Bartyzel-Cinematical
It's definitely a film worth seeing.
Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium
In terms of putting a protagonist through the wringer, the directors haven't been quite this cruel since Barton Fink, a film which shares A Serious Man's penchant for extremely black - actually, make that bleak - humor.
Ian Buckwalter-DCist
A Serious Man is several barrels full of laughs. But it's as serious-minded about suffering and misfortune as any film I've seen.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
The Coens the way I like them. This is their second best film after The Man Who Wasn't There.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight
In this Coen brothers comedy, a good-hearted, Midwestern family man finds his life unraveling at work and at home although he's done nothing to deserve it.
Annlee Ellingson-Moving Pictures Magazine
Una farsa genial, con aires de tragedia, que resulta en una brillante alegoría sobre la condición humana. Una más para el podio de lo mejor de los Coen.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total
Simultaneamente divertido, melancólico e angustiante, Um Homem Sério é um filme de adultos para adultos.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
Lebowski, meet Gopnik.
Rob Humanick-Projection Booth
The Coens' creatively reinterpret the American Jewish experience in a cautionary folk tale with very amusing complications held together by pitch-perfect ensemble and design.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Finally, a deep, dark comedy that quietly tickles the intellectual, moral and situational funny bone without pandering to easy laughs or overdone bathroom humour ...
S. James Wegg-JWR
One of the ten best films of 2009
Fr. Chris Carpenter-Orange County and Long Beach Blade
