Barton Fink Ratings & Reviews
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.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
If Fink lacks cumulative punch, its fighting power is a technical knockout.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It's an exhilarating original.
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.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Partly hilarious, partly horrific, totally mesmerizing.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's an assured piece of comic filmmaking.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Aside from Turturro and Goodman, this movie is chockful of good performances.
Variety
Variety Staff
Scene after scene is filled with a ferocious strength and humor.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Again the Coens take familiar movie tropes and twist them into something new. This may be their most haunting movie.
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.
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.
The Young Folks
Gary Shannon
In their dark comic masterpiece "Bartin Fink," [The Coens] draw the line between artistic integrity and artistic smugness.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Barton Fink is one for the record books.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Weird, funny, would-be cult film, filled with its strange spaces and surreal dream logic.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Goes off the deep end.

Cole Smithey
Part "Eraserhead" and part "Naked Lunch," "Barton Fink" is like whitefish on sand.
Common Sense Media
Kelly Kessler
Bizarre Hollywood dream factory. Teens only.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Resembles not the artist's churning mind but the filmmakers' conjoined colon
