Standout Aspects

Direction

Coens recreate every Golden Age genre with obsessive precision.

Acting

Alden Ehrenreich's cowboy-turned-actor is devastatingly earnest.

Cinematography

Roger Deakins shoots Technicolor dreams and noir shadows.

Best for:Solo: When you want to feel smarter than the film but probably aren't.·Rewatch: Catch every biblical reference and Communist in-joke you missed.·Background: Gorgeous 1950s aesthetics make excellent wallpaper.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The 'No Dames' sailor dance is a shot-for-shot homage to Gene Kelly in Anchors Aweigh.

Insight
