    Editorial Reviews

    The Coen brothers (Blood Simple, Barton Fink) scored their biggest critical success with this darkly funny thriller set in a small, winter-bound Minnesota town. The story revolves around a kidnapping that goes awry and the efforts of a quiet, efficient -- and very pregnant -- police chief (Frances McDormand) to solve a series of increasingly gruesome murders. McDormand won an Oscar for her marvelously understated portrayal of a kind-hearted, coffee-swilling sleuth, but the whole cast -- including William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi -- is superb, delivering the kind of offbeat, stylized performances that are a Coen brothers trademark. Music by regular Coen collaborator Carter Burwell sets a moody tone, beautifully evoking the long nights and frozen expanses of a Minnesota winter. Holding it all together is the directors' complete confidence in their own sensibility; despite the film's mainstream recognition -- it got an Oscar nomination for best picture -- Fargo shows no hint of Hollywood compromise. The film is distinguished by the brothers' unique and very black sense of humor, right down to the foot poking out of the wood chipper. Gregory Baird, Barnes & Noble

    July 18, 2006: In the usual Coen sense of black humor, this film shines as their best orchestrated one. A pregnant Police Chief Margo Guenderson. Two whacked killers (of course, one being Steve Buschemi) and a depressed car salesman. Don't forget the wood chipper.

    July 22, 2005: Fargo is a dark comedy that has a mood all its own. There are cringeworthy moments where you don't know whether to laugh or squirm. All the performances in it are truly amazing (especially Macy as wormy Jerry Lundegaard and McDormand as good-hearted Marge Gunderson). This film is not for everyone- especially kids. It is full of violence and profanity, but it manages to be a great movie in spite of that. The whole mood of the film is dark, yet somehow homey. It's hard to explain. I've never really seen a film quite like this one. It's tragic and funny and dark and triumphant all in one. Fargo is truly a masterpiece.
