Even in this perversely recalcitrant world, the Coens find their puppets an endless source of amusement.
Dragging ponderously on a cigarette as he pretends to cut a customer's hair, Thornton gives an exceedingly dry performance. His surface catatonia conceals a busy inner life that's expressed in morose voice-over, complete with metaphysical musings on the fact that, even after death, hair "just keeps growing."
As though the turgid stream of consciousness were insufficient, Thornton's non-reactive taciturnity is accentuated by juxtaposing him [with] the effusive McDormand and keeping him surrounded by a gaggle of garrulous gargoyles.
In a typical Cain touch, Thornton fixates [on] a sensitive teenage girl (Scarlett Johansson)—drawn by her rendition of Beethoven's lugubrious "Moonlight Sonata" in the midst of a department store Christmas party.
refractory
