Second viewing
The first viewing, at a theater, was somewhat disappointing, though pleasant enough.
However, putting aside expectations, I really enjoyed watching it again.
The is just that it doesn't work as a whole. The best films seem to be greater than the sum of their parts. This is so for many Coen Brothers films as well. Once I accepted that this wasn't one of those, and just sat back and enjoyed the various PARTS, it was quite enjoyable.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
