Brother filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen (Fargo, The Big Lebowski) tackle the Old Testament Book of Job with this pseudo-autobiographical farce set in 1967 Minnesota. Larry Gopnick (Michael Stuhlbarg) is a physics professor looking for tenure, with a wife, family and comfortable life that he believes he deserves, which is all about to fall apart. He subsequently goes to several spiritual advisors for some kind of guidance as to why all this is happening and what it could mean, only to become more befuddled. Balancing light and dark in their own enigmatic way, this is a fully entertaining and provocative film.
