5 stars (Exceptional) Barton Fink, a successful 1940's New York playwright, lands a job in Hollywood only to be struck with writer's block. Enter insurance salesman, Charlie Meadows, and things really take a turn for the worst. Exhilarating and totally unforgettable. ~GenXGirl
5 stars (Exceptional) Full of iconic characters and moments, with biting humour and a real sense of humanity and wisdom. ~Wizzums
4 stars (Very Good) The cast is excellent in particular John Goodman who gives another memorable performance. The writing and characters are of Cohen standard and the set designs are commendable. ~Tubbs
0 star (Not rated) Original Aspect ratio: 1.85 : 1 ~Anonz
