Reviews
Its brilliance [lies] in making the forces of law and order look as interesting and funny as the bad guys.Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
The North Dakota setting is icily evocative, the supporting characters perfectly pitched (remember Marge's old flame Mike Yanagita?), while the air of sadness that blankets the film like snow adds genuine profundity.Kevin Maher, Times (UK)
