Incoherent – or is it me? Intriguing! Yawn!! Brilliant!
Great fun, at times sad but also humorous with great pathos. Typical Coen Bros.
What a waste of an evening. Always leaves me wanting more. Weird but quite good.
Usual bizarre, ugly Coen case – good in parts but bitty. Boring rubbish.
Serious themes but funny too. Worth trying but no thanks.
Superb! Refreshingly intelligent and original with such an ominously effective ending: I loved it.

Once again problems with the sound. Boring, boring, boring. Sound bad again!
Could we please have subtitles? Very humorous but missed quite a lot because of the sound.
Some funny bits but is it the acoustics; the sound track; the accent or just mumbling? There were parts I could not understand, leaving me as frustrated and puzzled as Larry Gopnik.
Some poor diction – nice comic touches. Overall too weird for me.
Probably quite a good film- pity about the sound track. Again, poor sound quality.
Ditto last time – American as a foreign language needs subtitles. Diction??
Can we have subtitles all the time? Understood the Yiddish part much better than the American…
Michael Stuhlbarg was excellent, as were the other actors, though the sound track was loud!
What an ugly, unattractive cast. Hard to warm to their fate.
Great, if hardly uplifting but the dialogue was difficult to hear again.
Amusing, if a bit stereotypical. Clearer but there were still problems with the sound quality.

Too annoying for words. Slightly better than the last film.
Better than last time but the sound still spoilt it.
Might have had something if the sound had been better.
Have to go back and start reading my Philip Roth! Very Diasporic!
Very evocative of the community.

Story very disjointed; it didn’t live up to Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Entertaining but exhausting. The first five minutes were the best!!
A memorable finale. Who hasn’t tried marijuana yet?
Sorry – didn’t get the ‘ending’...will think about it later. Great film – but I wish it had a happier ending!
Not my favourite – but the edgy uncertainty of life was painfully observed – yet again!
More life than anything yet. So real. So much frustration was piled on - his day was not made!!
A scary funny film – I suppose you have to laugh at the chaos –but rather them than me.
Very enjoyable and poignant but I did not appreciate members leaving before the credits had finished.

Appalling – the last two films were both bad. Who chooses these?
One of the worst. Oh, help me! Oi vay.

The next film is Everlasting Moments at Durweston on December 2nd.
