I know I stand almost alone with this view, but I think "Fargo" is a particularly overrated film. It's technically very good, with some great filming, a solid cast, excellent writing and a hauntingly sparse-yet-powerful score, but I just find it to be lacking. It never once had my full attention, it never once truly grabbed me by the balls and said "hey, I'm a damn good film". I don't know what to attribute that to, and I'm very disappointed.

Just about perfect. McDormand gives one of the great performances of all time as one of the great characters (dare I say heroes?) of all time, an exhilaratingly normal (who knew that was even possible?) celebration of the triumph of the mundane. Nearly every other performance -- Buscemi, Stormare, even Mr. Mohra who's interviewed in his driveway -- is a perfectly cast gem, but this is so much more than just an actors' film. Grandly desolate visuals and a miraculously economical screenplay.

Coen brothers are too good

The Coens just really know how to make a superbly well-rounded film. The characters are executed perfectly. All of them are believable and have their own unique traits and persona's that make none of them the same. The mayhem of the film is portrayed in a calm and subtle manner, but is ever so evident and clear to the viewers. The simple love story hidden beneath the suspense and crime, and is the main point of the film in my eyes, is my absolute favorite aspect to this film.

Very good story and characters. A little slow in some spots, but very entertaining.

Pretty good. Yep. You betcha.

A great cult hit that is quirky and thrilling at the same time. McDormand shines as the center of attention.

Just really, really good all around, one of the best films of the 90s.
