      Yeah, she'd hate me for saying this, because she worked so much harder in a lot of other films, but she's wonderfully, ridiculously over the top in Raising Arizona. It might be my favorite performance by her.
      On the other hand, "bad Frances McDormand" is simply a contradiction in terms.

    It's wonderful that Ms. McDormand shares these stories and is so honest and real. I think I know her secret. She doesn't need you to watch this video. She doesn't need to you adore her. She has an indomitable spirit and zest for life, and acting is one expression of that. It shines through in every role she plays. Everyone watching wishes they were just a bit more like Frances 😀.

    I saw Blood Simple near the very time of it's release with a reviewer friend, and have been a Coen fan ever since. Fargo, Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple- the darkest and insanely bent of crime theater. Frances is a remarkable and strong actress- I'd forgotten what a beauty she was then and still is for it.

    All the moving pieces--actors, writer/directors, crew--on a Coen Brothers set are wonderful on their own, but the magic is that the whole is even greater than the sum of its parts. When the films are over & the screen goes dark, you feel like someone just threw you the most amazing surprise birthday party.

    I just rewatched this movie and was amazed at how tightly written it is. Every relationship is complicated and many are intertwined. Frances McDormand's portrayal of Abby is great. She's sort of a sphinx and as as result the men in her life seem to project their insecurities on her.
    She's the only person in he movie who never pretends like they know what's going on. Meanwhile, the men her around think they do and whether they're right or wrong, they make horrible decisions based on what they're thinking. Abbie is sort of a false 'Medea' character... in the Film Noir sense not the Tyler Perry sense.

Seen it 13 times....my son is an actor and in a screenplay writing class the teacher assigned it to read. When Ray comes back from fishing trip he drops the fish on top of Loren's lighter. Those fish are red herring. He drops literal red herring on top of the metaphorical red herring. Name me another film that is that hip :D

    Blood Simple was my first exposure to the Coen brothers' genius. It is probably their least known film and most under rated work. The buried alive scene in the movie was probably the scene that most freaked me out the first time I saw the movie. There are so many truly horrific scenes within Blood Simple that it would be easy to categorize it as a horror film as much as it is a great example of film noir.
