Much like Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), very few of the integral stories of A Serious Man are resolved, but that's kind of the point. Larry Gopnik wanted answers for all of life's questions, but of course he never really finds them, nor was he mean't to, because that's life.

An authentic, curious and well-thought comedic drama from the Coens - the appeal is in the craftsmanship and in the characters.
