Movie Reviews

For a brutal black comedy about L.A. hitmen, ‘Pulp Fiction’ bursts out of its binding with loopy delights.

Mike Clark: USA Today 

“Some sequences (…) have the uncomfortable feeling of creative desperation, of someone who’s afraid of losing his reputation scrambling for any way to offend sensibilities” 

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times 

“A triumphant, cleverly disorienting journey through a demimonde that springs entirely from Mr. Tarantino’s ripe imagination, a landscape of danger, shock, hilarity and vibrant local color.” 

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
