Yup. A new Coen classic in my book. Not quite as good as Fargo, or Lebowski... but definitely on par, if not better, than Blood Simple or Barton Fink, although it's a completely different kind of film. Maybe I'm nuts though, 'cause I felt the same damn way about their Ladykillers remake, and Raising Arizona.
I definitely see what you mean of it feeling like a less-dark Solondz film, I was actually thinking the same thing, but it's also sort of a breed of it's own. Sorta in the same vein as The Weatherman.... sorta. I love dark comedies, and while this had some great mean-spirited humor in it, I'd consider it much more of a drama about the uncertainty of life. I absolutely loved it.
