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!
Editor's Verdict
"Fargo is not traditionally considered a Christmas movie, but it contains significant, though often dark, references to the season which influence the setting and mood. The primary classification criteria (plot, theme, resolution) score low, but the visual presence of snow and cold weather often associated with the season, plus the presence of some minor iconography, push it into the 'KINDA' territory, classifying it as a winter movie with holiday undertones rather than a true Christmas narrative."
