Review of Barton Fink (1991) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 10 Aug 1997
Stimulating entertainment, as rigorously challenging and painfully funny as anything the Coens have done. But it's necessary to meet the Coens halfway. If you don't, Barton Fink is an empty exercise that will bore you breathless.
If you do, it's a comic nightmare that will stir your imagination like no film in years.
