I liked the film a lot. Just the name hooked me, how could you write a whole film about that place? Brutal winters and not too much in the summer :)
But the film. I enjoyed the pace, it's a genre I favor because it gives me time to figure out what's really going on. This one kept me going to the end.
That's great to know and that is a fine point - it gives the scope to grasp the whole situation.
I often feel like Fargo has the usual coen-ish comedy to a lesser, diluted extent, yet I loved it more than almost all other Coen films, perhaps except for, The Big Lebowski.
The Big Lebowski is just in a category all by itself. The lifetime achievement award category or some such. It's almost unfair to compare the rest of their work to it.
I think that everybody that stays in anything long enough has something to point at and say "This is what I wanted everything I did to be like". Big Lebowski.
As a devout follower of our glorious religion that is Dudeism, I completely agree! 😁
I could tell you abide right from the start.
