A crime gem that is darkly funny even when it's chilling -- and certain to become a classic.Full Review

Peter Stack
San Francisco Chronicle

Rotates its story through satire, comedy, suspense and violence, until it emerges as one of the best films I've ever seen.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Dizzily rich, witty, and satisfying.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

In the darkly humorous Fargo, iconoclastic filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen manage the precarious balancing act of respecting genre conventions and simultaneously pushing them to an almost surrealistic extreme. Very funny stuff.Full Review

Variety
