Pulp Fiction

An untouchable aura that surprisingly does damage. Although John Travolta is irresistible and Bruce Willis flawless, the glory of the most cultish cult bothered me to such an extent that I probably won't be able to enjoy Pulp Fiction without some biases. A weaker four stars and the need for another viewing. (26/01/2006)

I can't figure out why, but other great movies can be characterized by words such as brilliant, perfect or fantastic. But when you say the word CULT, only two things come to my mind: Star Wars, and most importantly Pulp Fiction. A cult movie which has everything: cult scenes, lines, characters, the whole package. Plus, it was made by the most original director in Hollywood. (25/03/2013)

I first saw it in the cinema at the Czech premiere, when nobody had heard of Pulp Fiction and the name Tarantino was unknown. My friend and I walked out of the cinema and I was overjoyed to have seen something original again after a long time. My friend looked puzzled and told me he had to let it soak in overnight, he didn't know what to do. The next morning he came running to my room (in the college dorm) and excitedly announced: "Dude, it's been going through my head. It was awesome!” He ran to everyone he knew and recommended it to them and went back every day for the rest of the week with an ever growing crowd of curious people. They wrote lines from the film on pieces of paper and taped them to their walls – maybe that’s also how a cult classic is born. I really don’t know why I’m writing this, but Pulp Fiction is in my TOP 10 and I felt an almost moral obligation to say something without being repetitive. This film is like a refreshing spring in the middle of a desert of uniformity and deserves only words of praise. (13/04/2003)

No, even after watching it several times, I just couldn't change the title of this film. The individual stories and scenes are so meticulously crafted that it's unbelievable this was made by someone who had only one film under their belt. The dialogue is impeccable, and acting-wise, Tarantino got exactly what he needed out of everyone. He is truly a master at making every scene perfect, and there is something breathtaking to be found in every scene. (17/12/2015)

My 500th review happens to be about this film. Is that a coincidence? I wouldn’t say so; it feels more like fate. Until now, I couldn’t consider myself a complete film fan, but after watching Pulp Fiction, I can. I don’t even need to say that it’s Quentin Tarantino’s best film ever. The term cult classic should be in the title, and you should always refer to it with that clearly designated descriptor. Tarantino called up his favorite actors in the industry, and they delivered something unheard of and unrepeatable here. It’s impossible to choose who performed best, but Travolta had something special. I loved how all the stories eventually came together as one. And what’s the best thing about the film? Of course, it’s the dialogues, which are so filled with funny lines that I sometimes couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Anyone who hasn’t seen this film must rectify that immediately. And the music? Once again, a perfect gem. Nothing like this will ever be made again. I give it 90%. Correction for 2020: Django is the best. (25/08/2016)
