Kevin Maher Times (UK) ... A controversial yet award-worthy combination of gorgeous dialogue, genre-literacy, guns and gore. Rated: 5/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Quentin Tarantino is the Jerry Lee Lewis of cinema, a pounding performer who doesn't care if he tears up the piano, as long as everybody is rocking. Rated: 4/4 Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rarely have I left a movie theatre more thrilled or invigorated as I did after leaving Pulp Fiction. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Dan Buffa Ramble On With Buffa (Substack) From the riveting split story lines and hyper-profanity to the quotable dialogue and shocking action, Tarantino's movie reverberated then and still does to this day. Dec 29, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller FandomWire Super cool, totally thrilling, and a startling blend of homage and originality that has not been matched since—once you see it, you’ll never view cinema the same way again. Rated: 10/10 Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Grant Hermanns Screen Rant Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction not only remains his best movie, but is an exhilarating crime saga full of great performances and energetic writing. Rated: 5/5 Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
