The Coen brothers’ exquisitely sad and funny new comedy is set in a world of music that somehow combines childlike innocence with an aged and exhausted acceptance of the world. It is a beguilingly studied period piece from America’s early-60s Greenwich Village folk scene. Every frame looks like a classic album cover, or at the very least a great inner gatefold – these are screen images that look as if they should have lyrics and sleeve notes superimposed. This film was notably passed over for Oscar nominations. Perhaps there’s something in its unfashionable melancholy that didn’t hook the attention of Academy award voters. But it is as pungent and powerfully distinctive as a cup of hot black coffee. - The Guardian
