Reviews


100
Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
It's paved with delightfully irregular and unanticipated bits of business that stimulate the viewer to stay fully alert, while renewing our faith in the sheer joy of watching movies.
75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Rick Groen
It's a pinball arcade of a flick -- the Coens invent a bunch of wonderfully flaky characters, stick them into a Plexiglas narrative, and let them bounce off each other.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Some may complain The Big Lebowski rushes in all directions and never ends up anywhere. That isn't the film's flaw, but its style.
75
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Viewers with a taste for bizarre, even surreal, humor will have a ball.
70
Dallas Observer - Unnamed
It's neither the clean strike Coen-heads expected after Fargo nor the gutter ball anticipated by Coen-phobes like myself.
