Clinton St. Quarterly, Vol. 7 No. 1 | Spring 1985 (Seattle) /// Issue 11 of 24 /// Master# 59 of 73

Breaking up is hard to do “A crackerjack black comedy in the Hitchcock style. M. Emmet Walsh is splendidly sleazy as the fat sardonic detective.” John Hartl, Seattle Times “Here it is—a black comedy suspense thriller, so swift and sure of foot it fairly makes you delirious to watch... Go before some foaming-at-the- mouth friend tries to tell you the story line in advance!” Richard T. Jameson, The Weekly “ 'Blood Simple’ is the kind of dazzlingly intense movie that sends you staggering out of the theatre in a state of exhaustion and euphoria. It had me screaming, gasping, kicking, stomping, groaning and giggling uncontrollably with delight." Jim Emerson, The Rocket “A startlingly, original thriller! If you laugh at Gahan Wilson’s cartoons and bite your nails while reading Dashiell Hammett, then this one's for you. Beautifully directed ... The acting is equally superb, ‘Blood Simple’ is one tense, scary movie!” Brent Northrup, The Journal American “A virtually flawless film!’ Don Carter, Seattle P-l Joel and Ethan Coen’s BLOOD SIMPLE John Getz Frances McDormand Dan Hedaya Samm-Art Williams and M.
