[Marge is] a good cop because everything abnormal stands out like a stain against her white-on-white sanity.... [H]er incomprehension [of criminality] is not only her strength as a detective, it justifies the deadpan style of the movie.

Much less vain, flamboyant, and showy than their other pictures, Fargo bears the thematic influence of Samuel Beckett and the stylish coolness of Finland's Aki Kaurismaki, but the violence is all Coens.

It's good storytelling ... hilarious, disturbing, tragic, and hopeful. But it's not for the squeamish.

The brothers have returned to their roots, both visually and literally. Their new film is reminiscent of their debut movie, Blood Simple, and its wry look at murder.

For all its blood, the movie contains large doses of humor and not a little sweetness and hope.

Thank you, brothers Coen. You have renewed my faith in the serious talent who cannot be lured into the pecuniary heavens of Hollywood.

Um dos grandes trunfos de Fargo reside em seus diálogos. O problema é que estes duelos verbais travados entre os personagens perdem muito durante a tradução para o português.

Fargo (1996) is a self-proclaimed "homespun murder story" set in the white-washed, winter wilderness of the frozen and bleak Upper Midwest.
