Romas M Greetings from Lithuania. The first film ever made by great Coen brothers was "Blood Simple" (1984). It is impossible to properly review and experience this film when watching it for a first time in 2025. It is because of a future films there directors made were far more brilliant, and many directors tried to copy or mimic their style during decades. Therefore i have seen many films with similar theme and style. And only recently watched "Blood Simple". I'm sure that if seen it for the first time in 1984, this film would have hit me way harder. "Blood Simple" is a memorable film because of its story, which is very darkly is funny. It features a first time role of future multiple Oscars winner Frances McDormand. Screenplay was very good. This film is a very slow burning kinda noir drama / thriller. It works for what its going for, but its a rough around the edges film as well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Justin T This is a tragic black comedy of a thriller. It involves a lot of thought which means that it can be slow in places and requires some patience. The ending is very good and well done. Sadly up until the ending I just wanted something to happen. The production and so on was all really good as you might expect. I just can’t help but think that I wasn’t the right audience for the film, I really felt like it needed something more engaging, be it violence, characters, action, anything so that it is less pondering. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Alain E Still remains very strong if you like this type of cynical entertainment. The introduction says that it has been reedited and I guess I will have find my old DVD to see what changes were made. Especially enjoyable is the late Michael Emmet Walsh. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Heather R I hated everything about this movie! They writing and editing were abysmal. I don't get the high ratings! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Coen's first movie is impressive, compelling, and a bit trashy. Fine performances, nice plot twists, kept me on my toes. As major misunderstandings of the truth, totally screws with the character's poor decision making. Coens show lots of style with fancy camerabatics. An eerie music score helps underscore all the mayhem. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
