I just watched this movie and thought everything from story, writing, acting and our very stupid faults as human beings were amazing! There is violence happening against a black family that moves into a seemingly "normal" white 1950's community. While this savage violence is occurring, literally right behind their backs is one of the most sinister family distructions I've ever seen! Look, if you have never seen a Cohen Brothers movie, if you haven't seen one of George Clooney's directed movies, if you don't see the dark humour or the Hitchcockian take on this film, then it just isn't for you! Don't come on here just to complain, it's a review. I for one don't think its the most perfect movie ever made, but it certainly does tell two adjacent stories that show what hate can blind you from. Highly recommend!
