Why do people discuss/enjoy the movie Fargo so much? (beehaw.org)

Just watched it for the first time, knew almost nothing about it going in.

Overall opinion: It was an alright movie, not bad. I had a good time, but it didn't seem groundbreaking or particularly funny or shocking. So what gives? Why do I hear so much about it?

My best guess is that the movie was shocking when it was released, because of the outright murder and violence, and I'm just desensitized to that in film now, so it wasnt as revelatory to me

Definitely after chewing on it for a day or so, it is quite memorable. The scene where he exits the cabin with the axe is still pretty fresh in my mind and I find myself thinking about it from time to time. Aesthetically it was pretty pleasant while simultaneously being off-putting.

Watched it again last night, it's such a classic Coen movie.

I just love how you can see exactly why everyone does what they do, even when it's the worst possible decision, there's just no other choice.
