Barton Fink Ratings & Reviews
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
Funny, shocking and bizarre, "Barton Fink" is a sick joke elevated to the realm of art.
Film Critic: Adrian Martin
Adrian Martin
The film has an anything-might-happen-next air and a faith in strange associative leaps that take the plot in unforeseen directions.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
Barton Fink seems to be the best film of the year... but it dissolves without leaving a trace, turning into the biggest deception of the year. [Full review in Spanish]
Christopher Street
Quentin Crisp
It has the best dialogue I have heard in a long time -- witty without being jokey.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
Ever readable, Barton Fink mixes a fascinating potion of isolation, paranoia, and anxiety, as well as a harsh dose of uncertainty for our unfortunate writer.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Edgy, innovative, and often ambiguous in its intentions.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Barton Fink is one for the record books.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
It's at its best when young Barton Fink simply stares at a picture of a bathing beauty contemplating the ocean -- a Hollywood dream.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Gnomic, claustrophobic, hallucinatory, just plain weird, it is the kind of movie critics can soak up thousands of words analyzing and cinephiles can soak up at least three espressos arguing their way through.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Again the Coens take familiar movie tropes and twist them into something new. This may be their most haunting movie.
Variety
Variety Staff
Scene after scene is filled with a ferocious strength and humor.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
This creepy satire is full of laughs and flaky twists, but by the end you may still be scratching your head.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It's an exhilarating original.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Partly hilarious, partly horrific, totally mesmerizing.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's an assured piece of comic filmmaking.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A triumph for the offbeat, grimly funny brothers, it reveals in its mythic fashion the vagaries of the creative process that plague every artist.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Aside from Turturro and Goodman, this movie is chockful of good performances.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
If Fink lacks cumulative punch, its fighting power is a technical knockout.
