	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Like 'Citizen Kane', 'Pulp Fiction' is constructed in such a nonlinear way that you could see it a dozen times and not be able to remember what comes next (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"It is an exhilaration from beginning to end. It's the movie equivalent of that rare sort of novel where you find yourself checking to see how many pages are left and hoping there are more, not fewer"	POS
United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"'Pulp Fiction' isn't just funny'. It's outrageously funny"	POS
United States	Mike Clark USA Today	"For a brutal black comedy about L.A. hitmen, 'Pulp Fiction' bursts out of its binding with loopy delights"	POS
United States	Richard Corliss Time	"It towers over the year's other movies as majestically and menacingly as a gang lord at a preschool"	POS
United States	Anthony Lane The New Yorker	"The architecture of 'Pulp Fiction' may look skewed and strained, but the decoration is a lot of fun"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Some sequences (...) have the uncomfortable feeling of creative desperation, of someone who's afraid of losing his reputation scrambling for any way to offend sensibilities"	NEU
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"A triumphant, cleverly disorienting journey through a demimonde that springs entirely from Mr. Tarantino's ripe imagination, a landscape of danger, shock, hilarity and vibrant local color."	POS
