Critic Reviews of "Raising Arizona"
TIME MagazineMarch 13, 2009To their old fascination with Sunbelt pathology, to their side-winding Steadicam and pristine command of screen space, the Coens have added a robust humor, a plot that keeps outwitting expectations and a...dollop of sympathy for their forlorn kidnapers.
Chicago ReaderNovember 06, 2007The cartoon vision of southwestern tackiness doesn't cut very deep, but the mise-en-scene is packed with clever clutter.
VarietyNovember 06, 2007While film is filled with many splendid touches and plenty of yocks, it often doesn't hold together as a coherent story.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Starting from a point of delirious excess, the film leaps into dark and virtually uncharted territory to soar like a comet.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Like Blood Simple, it's full of technical expertise but has no life of its own.
Suite101.comJanuary 30, 2017In their first masterpiece, the Coens first delight with sheer kinetics, then dazzle with colorful colloquialisms & verbal voodoo, and eventually disarm you with the grace and guile through which they examine modern foibles, failures and forgiveness.
CinePassionMarch 21, 2010The immense joy of this is in the realization that, for all their precision, Joel and Ethan Coen are essentially comic barnstormers rather than frigid ironists
Film4March 13, 2009Sharp, inventive and hilarious, with a marvellous cast of Coen regulars.
TV GuideNovember 06, 2007An entertaining, energetic, and stylish comedy about a simple but loving couple who long to be parents.
EmanuelLevy.ComOctober 31, 2006In a shrewdly calculated move to show their versatility, the Coens made this madcap comedy right after Blood Simple. If their debut was slow and spare, this one has breathneck pacing and hopping banter by terrific Holly Hunter and Nicolas Cage.
