A quirky and highly entertaining film

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 2019)

'Fargo' is another quirky gem from the Coen brothers and one of the best black comedy I've seen from the 90s. I always finds the Coens' films to be hugely enjoyable but this one was particularly rewarding for me.
I thought the plot was great and the characters fun and entertaining. The dark and subtle humour was also right up my street and provided lots of good laughs.
I'm not sure how much of this supposedly 'true story' is actually true, but the storyline was clearly never intended to be taken seriously. That said, it is also quite effective as a thriller and as silly as the characters and plot are, it does have you gripped and wanting to know what happens next.
A great film all round - interesting, absorbing and yet light-hearted and highly entertaining.
