Perfect for teenss but iffy for younguns.
I watched it yesterday and it is my favourite film. I am only thirteen so that is why I am rating it as I have. Ten years ago I don't think I would have been abled to watch it and nobody would have rated it for people under 17 years of age but nowadays younger kids are being exposed to the kind of language used in this movie. I had already heard about the woodchipper part and leading up to it I was really scared but when I saw it I laughed so hard! It is one of the funniest movies that I have seen in a long time, even though it probably isn't supposed to be because it is a true story, and the only thing I would say to look out for is the sex scenes. There are two strong ones. Nevertheless, excelent film! I love Steve Buscemi!

A Movie With Intense Violence and Golden Humor
First of all, the film is mainly about desperation. The lead man was in great need of money he got to a point that he would get the money by kidnapping his own wife through two criminals who happens to be aimless in life other than getting the money. Two characters contain the quality of too much violence in them.
On the other side, we see a character that, even she is pregnant, is doing her best to serve in her job as a policewoman. This character also imposes the virtue of care to everyone around you.
So, this film also perfectly blends intense violence with pitch humor suited to the supposedly "dark" story. In the end, this is a brilliant film that is, otherwise, not appropriate for young children. Even then, age barriers couldn't hinder the exotic intelligence exerted in this film. Perfect!

An alright movie
I thought this movie was pretty good but I felt maybe if it moved at a faster pace it would be more thrilling and exciting - but thats probably just me :)

STINKS
It still boggles my mind that this movie is considered brilliant!? It is disgusting, filthy, full of language, murder and violence. What is so brilliant about that? What a waste of talent, time, money, just about everything...

Brilliant.
I love this movie. It's truly incredible and unique, and manages to be both funny and thrilling. However, it's probably not for sensitive viewers, since there are lots of f-words and brief but disturbing bursts of bloody violence. There's also two sex scenes, but they literally only a few seconds long each, so they're not a big deal.
An incredible movie with great acting and a witty script, one of my favorites.

A dark comedy
This is probably the strangest and quirkiest film I have ever seen. Everyone seems like a complete idiot, except Frances McDormand. This is a dark comedy, but some people say this is a drama. There wrong. Anway, features some violence, all very bloody, and language is beyond comprehension. But something here seems moral. I think it's teaching us a lesson. We should think about what we do before we do it. Jerry Lundergaard didn't, and he pays. It's hilarious, and dark, and pure minnesotan. 10/10 stars

Perfect but very dark
Such a great film, and its my favorite Coen brothers movie, and one of my favorite movies ever. The acting is superb. William H Macy is so funny and sad. Steve Buscemi is super good also as criminal Carl, showing ruthlessness, but yet being so obnoxious and funny. And Frances Mcdormand as pregnant officer Marge Gunderson. She takes a much lighter, comedic role, as she cracks down the case, in a calm way. But she's also very funny and her oscar was very well deserved. The directing is so great too. The Coen's brothers style is so unique and just great in such small ways and they do their best work here. And their oscar winning script is so good too. But they way they easily blend dark comedy, bloody violence, and suspense makes the movie so original and a breath of fresh air. But this movie is very dark. Language is frequent, and mostly said by Carl, including many f***s and other words. Sex is not too big of an issue. Two brief scenes. In one, the two criminals are having sex with hookers, no nudity and very short. Second, Carl is having sex with a women, brief, and then it becomes interrupted, but no nudity in this movie. But violence is pretty bad. Carl and Gaer get pulled over by a cop with Jerry's wife in the back, Gaer shoots the cop in the head (point blank), then shoots a man getting out of the car that just passed them, then shoots a young woman in the car, that's flipped over. Carl shoots Jerry's father in law several times in the stomach, but the father in law shoots Carl in the face, and its very bloody. Gaer kills Carl with an axe, nothing shown because its blacked out before he actually kills him, then Carl is put in the wood chipper, very bloody, but also very darkly humorous. Also a brief beating, that's very funny. But violence is the name in this film. But really, you need to see it. Perfect.

Fargo is kind of brilliant in a certain way, but then again it's one of those weird Coen Brothers movies, with a very odd tone I just couldn't seem to get into. Some people might find this movie hard to understand, with it's strange blend of dark comedy, sex, and violence, but it's thought provoking and worth seeing for people with open minds. However, this isn't an entertaining, fun thriller, as advertised. For one of those, try Wes Craven's Red Eye, which is also less heavy. Fargo is an eerie and subtle mystery.
Parents:
This movie contains violence which, although is meant as comic in some scenes, is also dark and twisted. Corpses are shown several times throughout the film.
Strong language, although is not excessively used. More than one use of the "F" word.
There are two sex scenes in this film, including nudity. In one, we see two pairs of people having sex in separate beds in a hotel room. In another, we see a more up close shot of a man and a female prostitute having sex, fully nude.
This movie does have good role models though, including a friendly, pregnant female cop who is investigating a double homicide. She is played by Frances McDormand, who won the Best Actress Oscar for this performance in 1996.

For mature teens
This is a great movie, but you really have to pay attention to the beginning to get the story line. There is a lot of swearing but no more than any other R-rated movie. Violence is a big issue. Many people get shot including innocent passers-by.
