'A Serious Man'

Michael Stuhlbarg (Focus Features)

Jay Bobbin Zap2It

Oscar-winning filmmaking brothers Ethan and Joel Coen ("Fargo," "No Country for Old Men") bypass big stars in favor of Michael Stuhlbarg, a relative unknown given a star-making turn, in this comedy-drama about a professor whose marriage is threatened by the presence of his live-in brother (Richard Kind, "Mad About You") in the late 1960s. Additional complications, including his children and a neighbor, make the main character's quest to find personal peace quite a challenge. *** (R: AS, N, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray)
