Hail, Caesar! | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The Coen’s prowessness for balance is also important to note here, as it’s never overtly satirical. It’s jabs toward Hollywood are limited and the balance of recognizing the chaos but also giving us grounded humanity results in the film being playful...

This one really hammers in why the Coens’ tonal balance is so hard to match, as this one hides any direct cynicism for the industry behind an ornate dedication to the fiercely dedicated weirdos who keep movies going.

Hail, Caesar! is a brilliant satire depicting a bygone era of filmmaking that we'll never see again.

The Coen mix of subtle wit and broad slapstick is all over the film, which hopscotches across stories and soundstages at a snappy pace, and they poke fun at everything except the joy of movies.
