Critics' reviews

"Like 'Citizen Kane', 'Pulp Fiction' is constructed in such a nonlinear way that you could see it a dozen times and not be able to remember what comes next (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"It is an exhilaration from beginning to end. It's the movie equivalent of that rare sort of novel where you find yourself checking to see how many pages are left and hoping there are more, not fewer"

Mick LaSalle: SFGATE
"'Pulp Fiction' isn't just funny'. It's outrageously funny"

Michael Wilmington: Chicago Tribune
"For a brutal black comedy about L.A. hitmen, 'Pulp Fiction' bursts out of its binding with loopy delights"

Mike Clark: USA Today
"It towers over the year's other movies as majestically and menacingly as a gang lord at a preschool"

Richard Corliss: Time
"The architecture of 'Pulp Fiction' may look skewed and strained, but the decoration is a lot of fun"

Anthony Lane: The New Yorker
"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
