For some reason this film felt really comforting to watch even though it is pretty messed up in principal. But the setting of the sleepy midwestern towns in the beautiful snow and the film's humble tone make this one of the more interesting dramas to watch. Don't take that like it's devoid of action though, Fargo is interspersed with some surprisingly tense and hilarious moments. It just has a more microscopic lens on the characters of the story and the culture of their town. It also has an excellent soundtrack that fits the film perfectly and even adds to that comforting feeling I mentioned. I do think maybe it wraps up in a faster fashion than I was hoping, definitely the movie comes more alive when Frances McDormand's character steps in and I feel a few scenes from the first quarter could have been shaved down to include more finality for the plot. But as it is the film moves at a quick enough pace throughout where this doesn't bother me too much, it's just a bit unfortunate. Still very solid.
