      1. The Coen Brothers have had a very strong run of movies from No Country For Old Men to The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, with perhaps Hail Caesar! being the one movie from the set that is most dismissed. I want to change that.

      2. Hail, Caesar is such a surface delight (the musical numbers, the homages to classical Hollywood genres, the florid voiceover) that it gets dismissed as a mere triffle, when in fact it grows out of deep-seated Coen concerns about the precarious position of art in mass culture

      3. Here's my longer take (arguing with my old TNR colleague @williamfleitch) that far from a trifle, Hail, Caesar! is a heartfelt ode to the redemptive power of art:https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/render-unto-hail-caesar/ …

          When I first watched it, in the theater, I really really disliked it, and it was a huge disappointment to me (having been a Coen brothers fan since the 80s). However after it came out on disc and streaming I tried it again and liked it more.

          Great article! Thanks for sharing it here. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on The Hudsucker Proxy, one of my favorite Coen Brothers films.

          It also strikes me as being a film about the emptiness of faith. The religious advisors, his fervent mechanical Catholicism, Marxism.

          I’ve longed for a critique that gave this film the consideration its complexity deserves. Many thanks 🙏
