Well done...but was it worth doing?

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 1998)

It's brilliantly written, superbly acted, and imaginatively directed. Having said that, I can't honestly say I liked this movie at all. There's nothing wrong with a movie being disturbing or making you uncomfortable, but Pulp Fiction seems to do so without any real reason. A movie is meant to either entertain or educate (or both). Pulp Fiction is too over-the-top grotesque in parts for me to find it entertaining, and the gruesomeness does not redeem itself by being educational. Well made, but not worth making in my opinion. I give it a 7. Strong quality of work, but not successful enough in its approach to rate higher.
