Top Reviews  Mmmmmmm!!!!!Review created: 14/07/06 by:  7 of 9 people found this review helpful. William H. Macy plays Jerry Lundegaard, a Minneapolis car salesman who is, by all accounts, a loser. He is desperately in debt, so decides to hires two thugs (who are bigger losers than he is) to kidnap his wife in the hope that his wealthy father-in-law (who bullies him regularly) will pay the ransom. When one of the kidnappers goes off the rails and events career out of control, it falls to Marge Gunderson, Chief of the Brainerd Police Department, to set things right. Arguably the best of the Coen brothers films (they won an Oscar for the script), featuring two of their best usual suspects, Steve Buscemi and Frances McDormand – who won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in this role. The film raked in a range of other prestigious and International Awards, 36 in total - including best direction at Cannes and David Lean Award for Direction at the 1997 BAFTA awards.

Report this review Master classWith this film, a thriller of kidnap and betrayal shot through with the blackest of comedy, the Coen brothers finally achieved greatness. The direction, acting, screenplay and cinematography are all quite superb and as with all great films the time passes in the blink of an eye. Frances McDormand thoroughly deserved her best actress oscar. Her interpretation of the Coen's fantastic script is just perfect. I believe this film will soon come to be recognized as one of the greatest films of all time. Review ID: 10000000008190353 Was this review helpful? Report this review Quality movieA classic, what can I say, the simple stories make the best movies. The Cohen Bros can always be trusted and good actors. Steve Buscemi is perfect for this Review ID: 10000000007337169 Was this review helpful? Report this review A masterpiece.Review created: 29/01/08 by: If you ask me, the Coen brothers have rarely made a bad film, maybe the Ladykillers remake was a bad idea though... Fargo expertly combines a melancholic feel with quirky humour; the result being an excellent story in a snowy setting. A great piece of work. Review ID: 10000000005267634 Was this review helpful?
