No Country for Old Men is one of the best films of the 2000s, one of a few Coen masterpieces, and one that will easily stand the test of time when considering what it has to say about the way of the world, dark as it may be.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 30, 2024

No Country For Old Men is a great film from two great directors.

| Dec 24, 2024

This is easily one of the best films the Coens have made, and it’s absolutely one of the greats we’ll remember for decades to come.

| Feb 22, 2024

No Country for Old Men is in the top tier of the Coen Brothers filmography and is among the best films they have ever made.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 21, 2024

Roger Deakins’s cinematography is as much a star of the film as any of the cast.

| Nov 21, 2023

A model of simple, strong, evocative storytelling pared down to the bone, 'No Country' is filled with richly-drawn characters and an enthralling story that builds merciless momentum.

| Aug 19, 2023

Filled with violence, suspense, and the dark comedy that has made the Coens famous, No Country remains a deeply profound look at how time passes us all by, and no matter how hard we try, we can’t stop what’s coming.

| Jun 8, 2023

The violence is startling, the pacing is perfect, and there is just the right amount of dark comedy. You’ll wince in one scene and laugh out loud in the next one.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

The two-hour runtime flies by as the Coens shame bloated blockbusters with sheer craft.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Mar 23, 2022

Relentless in method, challenging in presentation, and unforgettable in execution.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 27, 2020

No Country for Old Men draws its characters as broad representations of human morality, which makes them all the more compelling.

| Oct 1, 2020

The greatest films are such a force of life and death, love and hate that once the closing credits begin to roll, the film's cinematic life has just begun.

| Original Score: 4.0/4.0 | Sep 18, 2020

The Coen brothers deliver one hell of a modern western, with themes that resonate and characters that won't let you forget them. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 28, 2020

The Coen Brothers honor McCarthy by reproducing whole chunks of dialogue from the book, and judiciously trimming plot. Jones' plaintive mourning for a country that's become too complicated to police is enough for us to know why he's packing it in.

With very little dialogue, Bardem is an imposing, evil presence who makes every scene he is in a white-knuckle moment.

| Original Score: A | Oct 29, 2019

The Coen Brothers' vision was quite simply visionary, and still is.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 5, 2019

An unexpected sucker-punch of a movie - raw, gritty and deeply humanistic.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 6, 2019

The consequences are powerfully gripping as the Coens ratchet up the tension in a visceral thriller that ranks with their best work.

| Feb 19, 2019

It's a smart film and pure Coen. It has a point, though some may contest it. But it's not a must-see film for everyone so if you are a Coen fan, don't take your grandmother. She will say it sucks.

The Coen Brothers are back with a triumphant return to form.
