'Coen brothers-like comedy thriller' with perfect score compared to Yellowstone An 'underappreciated' black comedy film, which has bagged a flawless score, is drawing comparisons to the early works of the Coen brothers and the hit TV show Yellowstone.
Critics have been quick to point out the similarities, with one reviewer commenting: "LaRoy, Texas is full of Coen brothers-style charm, with its dark humour, absurd interludes, and existential middle-of-nowhere location combined with a solid level of bloody violence and characters you can't help but root for.
The film features John Magaro, known for his roles in Past Lives and The Many Saints of Newark, alongside Steve Zahn, recognised for his performances in The White Lotus and War for the Planet of the Apes.
LaRoy, Texas had a quiet release in the US and UK at the start of 2024, but despite the low-key launch, it managed to become one of the top-rated films of the year on Rotten Tomatoes, racking up a perfect 100%.
The film has drawn comparisons to the early work of the Coen brothers, known for iconic films like Fargo and No Country For Old Men.
