Collider | ‘Hail, Caesar’ Review
Collider
Even though Hail, Caesar! can be a bit sprawling, it’s very tight in its message and acknowledging not only classic Hollywood, but where that Hollywood of old stands in contrast to today. Without giving too much away, I’ll simply say that there’s a couple of scenes where the Coens fully acknowledge that their peers are moving to television, and they ponder what that kind of exodus means for the god of cinema. While the Coen Brothers don’t show any signs of abandoning movies, Hail, Caesar! shows Hollywood on a precipice, and openly wondering if its followers will remain faithful.
