4/10
BARTON FINK (1991). Perhaps the least appealing of the Coen Brothers films, with an angst-ridden John Turturro in the title role as a left wing playwright in the 1930s, who goes to Hollywood and winds up writing a script for a wrestling B movie. Meanwhile, in the hotel room next door, a demented John Goodman is getting scary. Trouble is, it’s not very funny and Fink is so unappealing, it’s hard to care about him.
