A film to look forward to …

The Scottish play comes alive in imaginative new Joel Coen film. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… the pairing of Washington and McDormand and the inclusion of Coen as director is welcome. Those who have seen Washington onstage know how gifted he is, and he happens to be endowed with more than a few of the traits the role calls for. A sometime college basketball player, he has the stature and the confidence required, along with a certain mix of leading man charm and obvious fallibility. McDormand is every bit as good as you might expect, and Coen’s direction is inspired.
