Rated: 4/5 Dec 26, 2010 Full Review O Brother, Where Art Thou? | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader After making what are still probably their two best features, the Coen brothers came up with their worst, a piece of pop nihilism. Nov 7, 2007 Full Review O Brother, Where Art Thou? | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Geoff Andrew Time Out Great dialogue, superb 'Scope camerawork from Roger Deakins, and a genuinely wondrous deus ex machina are among the delights.
