Well, seeing as I saw this when it came out, I'm approximately three months behind with movie reviews.

True Grit is full of Coen goodness. It's got quirk, character, looks, sound, depth, and a good story. The actors are awesome, the cinematography is beautiful (and ought to have won the Oscar), and I almost wish we could have given Jeff Bridges an award this year over last, but I guess he's just on a roll. Matt Damon shows yet again that he is one of the most underrated actors out there. I think he could have been substituted for one of the other men in the Best Supporting Actor category this year for his role as La Boeuf.

I also liked that this time around, there was nothing to question at the end of this movie. After A Simple Man and No Country for Old Men and their abrupt endings and moments of confusion, this was a pleasant, straight-forward movie experience that was perfectly crafted. It's definitely one of my favorites of the year.
