Fargo
Aroview: The gifted Coen Brothers cross two of their previous treasures - RAISING ARIZONA and BLOOD SIMPLE for this lovingly mocking tale of insurance fraud that goes horribly wrong in snow-caked Minnesota. A benign, pregnant sheriff sniffs out the trouble while anchoring a priceless cast of hick-town eccentrics.

4 stars (Very Good) A solid suspense with plenty of dark humour, the Coens cement their place in the gritty murder-mystery genre, with steady well-paced storytelling and their own unique visual feel. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) classic low key effort from everyone - a winner. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) Exceptional on pretty much every level including the stunning cinematography, a career-best performance from McDormand, but it's greatest asset is the sly, subtle, dark and hilarious screenplay and direction form the infallible Coen Brothers. ~Wizzums
