What does "as good a film as the Coen brothers...have ever made" mean? [duplicate]
What does "as good a film as the Coen brothers...have ever made" mean? Does it mean that the film is their best? what is the underlying structure?
Saying it's as good a film as they've ever made doesn't mean it's necessarily their best, only that it's among their best films.
The underlying structure of the sentence is as follows:
The Coen brothers have made many films.
Some of them have been great, some not so great.
Among the great ones [you could insert here, say, "Raising Arizona"] has to be one.
