One of the greatest movies ever made. And it is a parable of the human condition combined with fantastic acting. McDormand and William H, Macy both won Oscars for their roles.

The scene in the "all you can eat" bar with Marge's old schoolmate Mike Yanagita is one of the funniest parts! He has a total hidden agenda all along, and this awkward encounter influences Marge to stop taking people at face-value, most importantly William H. Macey's character. That's brilliant writing.

Love that you laughed through a bunch of it and completely understood the dark humor! This is one of my absolute favorites! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Francis McDormand won her Oscar for Best Actress from this movie

I enjoyed your review very much! "Fargo" is a classic and multiple Oscar winning movie. Frances McDormand deserved and did win the Best Actress Oscar. It also won Best Picture among other awards. Amazing all-around acting by all in the film, and incredible direction by the Cohen Brothers.

If you want to see one of the Coen bros' more serious/dark movies, you should check out Blood Simple. It was their first movie. Very film noir.

It goes to show you just how much you wouldn't expect such horrible crimes to happen in a remote little town in Minnesota. You might think that a pregnant police officer would be pulled from active duty until after the birth, because of the inherent danger risk that goes along with active duty. But that didn't happen with Marge, precisely because that kind of danger is so unexpected there.

Before Anton Chigurh, Peter Stormare’s character in this movie was the Coen Brothers’ greatest villain. Also, it is worth mentioning that this was filmed on location, in and around the city of Minneapolis, which is where the Coen Brothers grew up. “Fargo” is a small town nearby where Jerry and the criminals first met in a bar.

Thanks, Angus, for a very entertaining review. The real star of the movie is the location: northern North Dakota/Minnesota. Poking gentle (or not so gentle) fun at a quirky corner of the country.

all he had to do was pay Gaer Grimsruud an extra ten thousand ,

Your Coen brothers choices have all been pretty grim ones. If you wanna see something crazy, check out "Raising Arizona." You won't believe it's by the same two guys.

Raising Arizona great humor from the Coen Bros.

This is a great movie and the series is pretty great too, if you're interested. Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman, they're both excellent in it. So, I just googled Peter Stormare to make sure I knew who you meant and I just found out that his real last name is Storm. Wow, if my real last name was Storm, I would NEVER change it. Not for a million dollars. Well, maybe for a million dollars but even then, I'd only change it to something even cooler, like Savage or Slaughter.

Frances McDormand is in a lot of the Coens' movies because she sleeps with the director (her husband).

Great choice. Very good movie with some fantastic acting.

Großartiger Film. Was genau mit dem Geld passiert erfährt man in der Serie Fargo - insbesondere S01 ist absolut sehenswert.

Joel Coen and Francis McDormand are married in real life

Talking about bizarre, have you watched Raising Arizona? It is the Coen Brothers second film, a comedy. John Goodman is great and Frances McDormand has a small role. A Hilarious and somehow heartfelt story. I am really enjoying your movie reactions. Thank you.

you should react °The Guard",too. Totally underrated and as good as "Fargo°!

Hey mate good to see you! Why did you stop making reactions on Peaky Blinders? The show is definitely one of the best I've ever watched. Cheers!

If you wanna see what happened to the briefcase, check out the tv series.

It is not a true story despite the disclaimer.

What a great movie. Everyone should watch Fargo (1996) at least once. As an aside: Are you going to react to the Witcher movie and season two on Netflix? Fun Fact: William H. Macy stated in an interview that, despite evidence to the contrary, he did hardly any ad-libbing at all. Most of his character's stuttering mannerisms were written in the script exactly the way he does them in the film.

Raising Arizona and Blood Simple, bro

23:48 - Did Shep bring an extra belt just to beat Steve Buscemi with? I love this movie, but, well, see something say something. : )

Great movie even though Peter Stormare is over the top as usual. Crazy Swedes. 😆

Dont forget Raising Arizona-1987

I was born near Canada

Can you react to Maren Ade's film Toni Erdmann please? Starring Peter Simonischek and Sandra Hüller

I am Number 1000:)

Written and directed by the Coen Brothers and Francis McDormand as a pregnant sheriff about ready to have a baby when a murder takes place during the winter season of North Dakota. Also featuring William H. Macy as Jerry Landauerguard
