    Just went to see this, The Coen's have done it again, this movie is no short of a masterpiece.

    Its funny, surprising, and really catches you off guard, the acting by everyone was HILARIOUS, Brad Pitt nailed his part, Clooney, Mcdormand,Malcovich were also very good. Tilda Swinton was average, she played the part very well, and the doctor scene was great, but overall she was just meh.

    What really pu the icing on the cake were the scenes with JK simmons, they're fantastic.

    overall, amazing movie, a billion funny quotes in a laugh-out-loud dark comedy hit by the Coen's

    10/10.

    It's gotten good reviews.

    It'll be good on a dvd too, not many stunning visuals or anything, just a really good movie with some of the best screenplay i've seen.
