Movie Haiku:Jewish professor (Stuhlbarg) lets his guard down & hilarious consequences ensue. Coen Bros create a world filled with Jews (after more than a dozen films made over a span of 25 years). For sure, you don’t have to be Jewish to laugh through your tears but the screenplay, set design, & sound mix are so detailed & specific that it can’t hurt, nu?
