I have to admit I'd never even heard of this film before it was nominated for Best Picture, although once I learned it was a Coen brothers film I figured it was worth a watch.
A friend of mine described it as "A Serious Bore" - I disagree. Yes, there wasn't much by way of an actual coherent plot - it was more of a series of vignettes based around a man whose life is going to hell - but with the usual Coen brothers dryer-than-dry gallows humor and completely unique characters, still interesting to watch. Other than that it's really too odd to describe - like most Coen brothers films, you just need to watch it.
I give it a 7.9 - almost an 8 but not quite.
