Although ostensibly a crime thriller, Fargo is really a dark comedy and probably the best one ever. I love how this movie makes fun of midwestern culture and total schmucks like Jerry Lundegaard and Carl Showalter.

Frances McDormand is the best actor of her generation and perhaps the most underrated. I think she doesn't get enough praise sometimes.

The Coen Brothers have certainly crafted their best with Fargo. I think it's even better than No Country For Old Men or The Big Lebowski (two films I also love).

Not too many films of more than one genre can be good let alone great. Fargo is a true masterpiece and a must see experience.
