Fargo

By Tony Paulett​o on December 9, 2009

Sickening and delightful, Fargo is a slice-of-life hyberolized in a way that only The Coens can offer. The story, while seemingly light on moral and theme, is very heavy on the mind. The stupidity of the unconventional villains (Buscemi, Stormare, and Macy) are wonderfully matched with the naivety of the heroine (Frances McDormand). But as naive as she is, her firm ideals and genuine goodness make her loveable. Fargo is simultaneously hysterical and disturbing, a combination that the Coens have pinned and use incrimentally in their work.
