  1. Like all the Coens' movies, "Man" is supremely self-aware and darkly, hellishly funny. It's also brilliantly written and acted to a fare-thee-well by an outrageously good cast.
  2. Thornton seems born to play the sort of slow-witted poet of the mundane that the Coens find worthy of their condescending affection.
  3. 38
    Isn't serious enough to fulfill its ambitions, or funny enough to compensate for its failures.
