A Serious Man (R) ; Coen/Coen, 105 min. If you seek a happily ever after, don’t seek anything by the Coen brothers. But if you seek a beautifully acted, compelling and profound examination of 1960s Jewish family life, here is your smorgasbord. Michael Stuhlbarg plays Larry Gopnik, a man on the verge of losing everything. This is tragic, beautiful stuff; everything you’ve come to expect from the Coens by now. Grade: A
