A great movie with one of the best female characters ever written for the screen.

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 1999)

"Fargo" is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Everything works...the acting, the location, the accents, the Cutlass Ciera. The photography is visually stunning as well. The scene where Jerry leaves Wade's office and walks to his car parked in the snow-covered lot has got to be one of the most memorable images ever filmed. Frances McDormand's portrayal of Marge Gunderson was about as perfect as a performance can be. The character of Marge is one of the best female characters ever written for the screen. She is smart, tender, sure of herself, nice, a good cop and a good wife to Norm. You just know she will be a good mother to her soon-to-be born child as well. There should be more people like Marge in the world!
If you enjoy dark comedy, you'll love "Fargo".
