Jerry, a small-town Minnesota car salesman is bursting at the seams with debt... but he's got a plan. He's going to hire two thugs to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It's going to be a snap and nobody's going to get hurt... until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge, a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator who'll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom... you betcha!

"I can see why this movie is talked about. Really liked it from beginning to end. "

"Oh Fargo. I love the writing of this movie with my whole heart, the causal conversation over the backdrop of horrific senses of violence will get my goat everytime. So funny so gory so Minnesota. "

"One of my all time favorite movies and the Coen brothers at their best (which is saying a lot). Gripping and intense but with dark comedy weaved in throughout. The anthology show by the same name is some of the best TV ever made as well (seasons 1 and 2). I highly recommend both the movie and the TV anthology. "

"Just recently watched and I can confidently say that it’s one of my new favorites. Everything about it was so well done from the dialogue between characters to the unraveling of the story."

"Frances McDormand is amazing!"

Tracey Thoughts….💭

"I enjoyed this. I will say the first 20-30 minutes are pretty boring. I almost even stopped watching. But I love the camera work and the music in the film. I really liked how the movie felt calm even with everything happening. Like how the actors never acted overly dramatic.I liked the cop. Good film that’s all. "

"As I watch her acting movie after movie, I become a fan of Frances McDormand... She is so good... I liked the movie. There is a sense of humor but also nerves are on edge because something could happen at any moment. I liked her professional character, she knows what she does and she is really good at it. The other characters are the same... It is like an all-stars movie. If you like to watch crime movies but don't like the killing(!) tension but like rather less tension, like me, this movie is great"
