Sergio A A short story with outstanding performances and characters. I believe this is the Coen brothers’ best film from the 1990s, even surpassing The Big Lebowski. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Kevin P A great dark comedy and gripping crime thriller that skyrocketed the Cohen Brothers' career into the film pioneers they are today. There's a good balance between the wholesome Marge Gunderson with her funny Minnesotan accent, and the darker tense hostage storyline going on with Jerry & his two goons. Everyone outside of Marge is a selfish idiot who keeps making everything worse with careless mistakes that just buries everyone into a deeper hole. Especially with the spineless car Salesman Jerry who kickstarted the whole thing in the first place. Marge on the other hand, is such a hopeful and optimistic protagonist who's a cunning and incredibly efficient detective, while still very kind, humble, and relatably quirky. The film has a great mix of funny banter and realistic dialogue that the Cohen Brothers would become famous for. As well as all the subtle visual cues that foreshadow the character motives and help brilliantly tie all the different plot threads together by the end. There's also the infamous woodchipper scene, and it's the gnarly cherry on top for all the other schemes that went wrong by the end of the story. The film also has a killer soundtrack that adds so much weight and gravitas to the whole ordeal. The film feels like a genuine examination of the pros and cons of "Minnesota Niceness" and how it can be used both for optimistic perseverance and cowardly enablement & cold emotional distance from the everyday horrors of human cruelty. But the movie is clever and subtle enough to let the audience come to their own conclusions while still providing a satisfying ending. A Cohen Brothers classic that is definitely worth a watch Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Jacopo D Nonostante sia violentissimo e con scene esplicite, Fargo è un film che merita di essere visto dai più grandi perché entusiasma, intrattiene e può vantare di una regia spettacolare firmata dai fratelli Coen. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review THE NASHVILLE I A very well directed and produced film with A+ quality. The Coen brothers though carry a subtle yet piercing sense of dread and discomfort throughout the entire movie. It benefits the story! However the lack of tonal or emotional nuance for 2 hours can make this fee like a chore at times Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 37 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Sexuality, Language and Strong Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
