Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2005)

When I first saw this movie in the theater, I felt the way I imagine people must've felt when "The Wizard of Oz" premiered in 1939. Or when Gregory Peck first appeared on screen in "To Kill A Mockingbird" in 1962. Or the first appearance of Hannibal Lector in "The Silence of The Lambs" in 1991. The incomparable Frances McDormand's performance as Margie is the stuff of film lore. She hits every note right. Insanely funny but never really clown-like. But also benevolent and tough, without doing a personality 180. It's legendary.
Everything else about "Fargo" is utter cinematic perfection. No filmmakers on Earth can tell a story like the Coens. It's the perfect mix of dark humor, creepy atmosphere, and genuine humanity. It unfolds flawlessly. Every artistic tool in the Brothers' box is perfectly utilized. It's their magnum opus. Highly recommended!
