More Reviews of Burn After Reading

Burn after watching as well. This movie stinks and isn't worth remembering. (First and only viewing - In my mid-twenties)…

Out of all the Coen Brothers movies I've seen, this is the one I hated. Does that means it's bad and you shouldn't watch? No…

Snark maybe is as snark does, but aren't there cases where snark is justified…

The Coen brothers create a collection of truly terrible people and put them through a labyrinthine plot in one of their darkest comedies…

An unfortunate low point for all involved…

Quite a downer concept for a comedy, however black. Which is probably why it isn't very funny…

Storytelling at its finest, one of the Coen Brothers most underrated films comes from a bunch of silly yet hilariously written characters performed…

Quirky humor which is usually the only movie humor I enjoy. The acting was well done, even Brad Pitt which usually I can only see as himself…

This Coen brothers' Burn After Reading is one of the insane black comedy films ever…

After the portentous No Country for Old Men, Joel and Ethan Coen return to their trademark brand of cruel, misanthropic farce, and for dark…
