caTones S One of the best movies I have seen I awhile. Yes this movie takes place in a town in Minnesota. Yes the characters have that brazenly exaggerated Minnesotan accent. Yes, the movie even makes reference to a wood chipper but do not think Fargo cliches are used or Cohen Bros comedic stylizations in this very fresh and unique movie. I preface by saying it's good enough to be in my Top 100 films if all time. Easy 5/5. Where this movie wins me over is in the development of two flawed characters who in their interaction create a beautiful two day story that kept me engaged and re-engaged each time I watch this. The cinema is drab. The town is drab and that is precisely what keeps me engaged. I laughed many times during the comedy act scenes. "The hustle and bustle of Duluth" always makes me cringe and laugh hard at the same time. The ending is powerfully beautiful. Even makes my eyes watery as I laugh hard at the punchline. This movie is funny, sensitive, and very deep. It makes want to even go to International Falls and feel its isolated coldness. This movie might not have worked had it been filmed in say Madison, WS or MSP. Do not let the lack of special FX or obscurity of the cast in this movie deter you from watching this. They are intelligent, likeable, charming and beautiful at their flawed cores.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review douglas p Twice I tried to get through this movie, I wanted to watch but it is sooo boring. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Anita F Terrible movie. I couldn't finish it. Rotten Tomatoes is wrong on this one. 💯 really? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/11/22 Full Review ronald h A clumsy mix of humor and pathos. The humor is sophomoric, and the pathos is cloying. This film is basically another in a long line of knock-offs of the awful "Bridges of Madison County": lonely housewife gets into affair with a guy from out of town who's just passing through. The only reason I sat through this is because I was in one of those mentally passive "I don't care what I watch" moods. That happens sometimes. But this movie is so inexcusably bad, it awaked my critical acuity enough to at least write this, in hopes of saving other viewers from watching it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A sort of funny and definite downer of a movie. International Falls is hyper modest in scope and in conjunction with the small town Minnesota setting, it works. As a Minnesotan myself, the accents are certainly in the Fargo-esque brand of exaggerated, but I enjoyed how Intl Falls pokes fun at my home state in little ways throughout. It's kind of a muted movie overall, but there are notable insights and funny moments. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
