I worship and adore FFC ( with an autographed Conversation poster to prove it) but this is, sadly, one…

    I can't even give this one star which blows my mind because I love the Coen brothers and almost all of their films are amazing to me. But I could not believe this character for one second, nobody in this world lets themselves get pushed around that much to where they can't even finish a sentence. There was absolutely no suspension of disbelief for me I was squirming in my chair the whole time and yelling at the screen it…
