Critic Reviews of "Burn After Reading"
At the MoviesNovember 07, 2008These are functioning morons, they walk and work among us. And they are brilliant and funny and in spite of the screwball-comedy nature of the story, they are completely believable.
At the MoviesNovember 07, 2008, Frances McDormand might get nominated for an Academy Award in a supporting role. She was great.
St. Louis Post-DispatchOctober 18, 2008The Coens are loopy stylists, and it's often amusing to watch this comedy of errors unfold. But after a masterpiece like No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading is classified as disposable.
The New RepublicSeptember 16, 2008For fans of the Coens... it suggests, especially on the heels of No Country for Old Men, that they have rediscovered their cinematic vision after several lean years.
Chicago TribuneSeptember 12, 2008On screen, delusional schmoes are more fun than smart people, and in the latest film from Joel and Ethan Coen, the imperious former spook played by John Malkovich accuses his blackmailers...of heading a league of morons.
Christian Science MonitorSeptember 12, 2008Burn After Reading is a piffle, but it's a savagely amusing one.
Movie TalkAugust 28, 2016Yet again the Coens parade a carnival of stupidity before us, another cavalcade of caricatured schmucks, imbeciles and idiots.
Stop SmilingJune 29, 2016Burn After Reading maintains comic balance, and after so many smart, gutsy Coen movies (many in the note of madcap), that shouldn't be a surprise.
QuickflixOctober 21, 2014It might be the same old song, but I could watch these guys play it over and over again.
Cinemaphile.orgJuly 15, 2014Seldom has a comedy about such thoroughly dumb individuals been so engaging, or so insightful.
TheShiznit.co.ukOctober 14, 2012A comedy so stupid, it doesn't realise it's a comedy. If intelligence is relative, then ignorance is bliss.
American ProfileSeptember 28, 2011A quirky tale of lust, greed, vanity, idiocy and ineptitude that spreads its giggly ripples through the bureaucratic buildings and leafy suburbs of Washington, D.C.
