Perhaps the most underrated film from Academy Award-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen, this brilliant, hilarious, dark comedy set in the American Midwest in the 1960s (not far from where the Coen brothers themselves grew up) involves the mid-life crisis of seemingly very happy and successful professor of theoretical physics, Larry Gopnik, sublimely played by Tony Award nominee Michael Stuhlbarg. Suddenly, Gopnik’s life is turned upside down when he learns his wife wants to leave him for his supposed best friend, Sy Ableman (Fred Melamed); his son is listening to Jefferson Airplane during Hebrew School bar mitzvah lessons; and his daughter is stealing money to get a nose job.
