The Coens are at their best when they're working with the minute quirks of everyday life. The bits of honesty they tag to the end of scenes, long after most directors would yell "cut!". The characters in their films are extremely realistic, no matter how outrageous the circumstances they find themselves in may be (aside from a goofy comedy like The Ladykillers, where the acting was obviously intended to be over the top - a brave move on their part). That's half the brilliance of Fargo, it makes it so much stronger than just a clever crime tale.
