 So many things have horrified me about this latest effort by Chico Snef that I really couldn’t say what disgusted me more than anything else.

 The alliance with J-Ax three years ago had already foreshadowed a frightening lack of ideas, but I never expected an album so shabby.

 Despite the dirty, poorly crafted sound, there’s something in these Gli Ebrei that at times works.

 Gli Ebrei should not run away from the simpler love songs, because those are the ones that work best.

Gli Ebrei's Disagiami suffers from poor production quality and clichéd social themes but shows promise in its more sincere, personal songs. The lo-fi, punk-inspired sound is uneven, with some tracks feeling dull while others stand out for their authenticity and catchy pop elements. Despite shortcomings, the album hints at potential growth for the band. Listen to Disagiami to discover fresh Italian lo-fi sounds blending social critique and honest storytelling.

 Some of the selected performances are real tour de force, stuff close to twenty minutes, excessively elongated by various improvisations and indulgences of the involved soloists.

 For the first time in their careers, this is a film "accepted" rather than "proposed" to the majors, with unfortunately not up to par results with their previous works.

 Their black humor is effective in outlining the meanness and hypocrisy of the American upper class, but everything is toned down in excessive sentimentality and in a syrupy and too predictable ending.

Intolerable Cruelty marks the Coen brothers' Hollywood studio venture with a simple plot centered on prenuptial battles. Despite good performances and moments of sharp black humor, it falls short of the depth and originality typical of their best works. The film is enjoyable but ultimately a minor entry in their career, with a syrupy ending that weakens its potential. Still, it's better than many contemporary Hollywood comedies. Discover the Coen brothers' take on love and law—read the full review or watch Intolerable Cruelty today!
