However, the closing credits bear the standard fictitious persons disclaimer used by works of fiction. [23] Regarding this apparent discrepancy, the Coen brothers said that they based their script on an actual criminal event, but wrote a fictional story around it. "We weren't interested in that kind of fidelity", said Joel Coen. "The basic events are the same as in the real case, but the characterizations are fully imagined... If an audience believes that something's based on a real event, it gives you permission to do things they might otherwise not accept." [24] This superb single-sided poster is just about as famous as the film itself. The wonderful 'needle point' / 'cross stitch' design is by Optic Nerve and the Creative Partnership. Perhaps one of the best movie posters of the late twentieth century. We love it. Our displays are identical 1:1 to a typical signed and framed shirt at 5 to 10 times cheaper without sacrificing any quality, infact our displays are often constructed of higher quality materials and assembled better.

[87] The fifth season is scheduled to premiere on November 21, 2023. [88] See also [ edit ]

[42] In The New Yorker, Anthony Lane singled out McDormand for praise: "Her character—seven months pregnant, polite to a fault, smart yet slow—is only a breath away from caricature, yet McDormand unearths a surprising decency there, and in the process she pretty well rescues the film."
