Our take

Director John Turturro enlists an all-star cast for his take on the jukebox musical, with James Gandolfini as its linchpin. Delightfully chaotic and thoroughly enjoyable, this joyful oddity produced by the Coen brothers is reminiscent of their humor while developing a unique and heartfelt vision.
