Fargo

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2020)

What I liked: It's quite a moral study. The main thing I got from it was that actions have consequences and you're rewarded in life by the way you treat others. The Coen's have a really great understanding and control of their characters. I found it entertaining throughout and any film that is 1hr30 long is a great film in my book. I love Frances McDormand in this and just in general I think she's a great actress. I also love how the North Dakotan setting was one of the main characters.
What I disliked: I didn't really find it particularly complex or studiable (i think i made that word up). I also understand it's supposed to be a black comedy but I really didn't find it funny, I think maybe the fact they're so nice and have funny accents is supposed to be the funny part but maybe that would be more effective if I knew anything/ cared about people from the Midwest. I'm not marking down Fargo for this but I think three bilboards outside Ebbing Missouri is largely inspired by this film but does a much better job at studying morality and the consequences of our actions.
