Burn After Reading Ratings & Reviews

  • RyezooFebruary 20, 2025
    This movie is simple hilarious from the opening moments all the way to the credits. The whole cast bring it, especially Brad Pitt. This is the funniest role I have ever seen him in. Maybe I loved this movie because I'm a cynical person but this dark comedy was firing on all cylinders. Every thing is connected so brilliantly, this is the Coen brothers that I love.
