Reviews for Miller's Crossing
...whether we're supposed to take it as a dark comedy or a straightforward melodrama is up to the viewer. A little of both, maybe. The Coens have always been a little twisted.
A gleeful riff on a very old genre; the Coens make it sing anew with wit, intensity, and irresistible black humor.
The film is a crossroads, more gratifying for the future directions it provided for its creators than for the pleasures it affords its audience.
Not a false move, a bad angle, an awkward line or a wanting performance at any point.
The Coen Brothers certainly know noir. This mob tale shimmers with sparkling dialogue.
It is consistently good, but I suppose I have come to expect more from the Coens.
