Summary

In 1967 suburban Minnesota, Larry Gopnik, a Jewish physics professor, watches his stable life unravel: his wife asks for a divorce to marry a family friend, his tenure case is jeopardized by anonymous letters and a bribing student, and his troubled brother won't leave the couch. Desperate for meaning, Larry seeks counsel from a series of rabbis as misfortunes pile up, hoping to understand why a serious man is being tested.

Released in 2009, A Serious Man is a comedy and drama film. Inside comedy it is classed as Dark Comedy.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 363 of its IMDb reviewers. A broader pool of 375 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 4,579 of whom clear the calibration test.
