Critic Reviews of "Man Who Wasn't There"
TIME MagazineOctober 13, 2009Affectlessness is not a quality much prized in movie protagonists, but Billy Bob Thornton, that splendid actor, does it perfectly as Ed Crane.
VarietyNovember 07, 2007The film holds the interest, to be sure, but more due to the sure sense of craft and precise effect that one expects from the Coens than from genuine involvement in the story.
Chicago ReaderNovember 07, 2007Joel and Ethan Coen stay true to their bent for dense heroes and neonoir, and to their unshakable conviction that life usually turns out to be splendidly horrific.
Time OutJune 24, 2006In this the Coens' sly script is helped no end by Billy Bob Thornton's supremely eloquent performance as the taciturn tonsor, lent terrific support from Frances McDormand as the wife.
Houston ChronicleJuly 21, 2005Despite the movie's humor and sense of irony, it takes on a sense of somberness as it progresses.
L.A. WeeklySeptember 30, 2002The Coens have resurrected a hardscrabble California of wooden porches and gravel driveways, of rolling, oak-wreathed hills and one-lane roads, and of a restless people whose meager dreams are wrecked the moment money, sex or a bottle get in the way.
Not Coming to a Theater Near YouOctober 14, 2011Ed's problem isn't so much that he isn't there but that, when you finally catch a glimpse of him, there's no way to be sure exactly what has caught your gaze.
EmanuelLevy.ComApril 01, 2011This stylized black and white noir by the Joel and Ethan Coen is meticulously mounted but too emotionally detached and only sporadically engaging.
Common Sense MediaDecember 28, 2010Some mature themes--best for older teens.
Suite101.comSeptember 19, 2010Few outside of Coen cliques paid this nihilistic neo-noir much attention. Perhaps that's its wryest, slyest punchline: To watch Ed Crane is to largely forget him and, upon returning to him, revisit the pleasure of meeting him for the first time.
