Blood Simple Reviews

horrible movie (first time i ever saw a 35 milliliter film)

7.4/10

Cinematography staple!!! beautiful shadows and intentional composition and pacing

Not my fav Coen film

Fun to watch the beginnings of greatness with the Coen brothers. Humble beginnings

Solid movie. Not my favorite Coen bros (and I think their next, Miller’s Crossing, is much better), but this is solid.

danny boyle criterion closet recommended. he was not lying; this is up there with some of my favorite coen flicks. PI was my favorite character. frances mcdormand is so pretty

pretty stellar crime noir film that serves as the coen’s debut. i personally didn’t find it too funny, but the confounding narrative and overall conflict is engaging with enough action to satisfy. excellent cinematography and writing with the wonderful frances mcdormand

This honestly went pretty crazy, especially the last 20 minutes.

Quite possibly the smoothest film I’ve ever seen, perfect transitions. Although it’s far from a perfect film, three are no observable issues in the story telling process, everything is incredibly efficient.

Excellent and thrilling film that keeps you on your feet.

You know that place smelled!

7/10

The Coen Bros. had their style and voice straight from their debut. Creatively written, structured, shot and directed. Great performances, particularly long-time collaborator Frances McDormand. Sprinkles the makings of Fargo and No Country for Old Men throughout, excellent debut

Intresting… very well made but is was blood confusing in a little lost at the moment

Assumption is the mother of …

It was alright. Like Fargo but not as good

A great look at what started off the coens and a great precursor to what they would become.

This was a meh until the very end, and then it all clicked. Extremely slow. Painstakingly slow. Yet nothing is simple about this one.

Ok

Solid story about how all criminal's lives end the same, having that last second realization before dying that it was all for nothing. Also a great example of how acts committed bc of spite can hurt more people than intended
