Who else can put a quirky true story into focus?

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2003)

Fargo got everything it deserved.
This was one of the best films of that year, Francis McDormand deserved best actress, William H. Macy deserved a best supporting actor nod, and everyone in this was wonderful, down home and very real! Fargo came along at a time when big-time stories with big budgets made allot of hype, this was an unbelievable story that happened and told in such an unbelievable way...a crime in a small town, shown from that very same perspective. No big names, no big splashes, real type actors doing their job in a real life situation and they ALL were superb. If you haven't seen FARGO, you're missing allot. Great acting, great script, great location, great direction, great cinematography..a "little film" that showed the bigger films of that year how to do it and do it right.
One of the top 100 Films of the 20th Century without a doubt.
