Leave your thoughts about Raising Arizona.
| Saporta Report (Atlanta)Eleanor Ringel CaterYes, the Coens are techno-brat showoffs, but when the show is this good, who cares? |
| Washington PostTom ShalesDespite all the mania and exaggerated characterizations, Raising Arizona is ultimately one of the Coens’ kinder (if not gentler) efforts, a raucous cartoon that consistently offers the beleaguered, desert-stricken H.I. little oases of grace. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookHilarious, madcap comedy from the Coen brothers that demonstrates just why they are the kings of quirk. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe film's sense of family values will make your head hurt and the chase scenes will set your noggin spinning. |
| Suite101.comNick RogersIn 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. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWhile film is filled with many splendid touches and plenty of yocks, it often doesn't hold together as a coherent story. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxThe slapstick energy of a Road Runner cartoon, raised to the level of near-art. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsTed PriggeOne of the most original and clever little comedies I've really ever seen, and it's all due to the greatness that is the Coen Brothers. |
| NetflixJames Rocchi[T]his kidnapping farce from Joel and Ethan Coen is a deft nod to classic screwball comedy. |
| TimeRichard CorlissThe whole caper loses its rhythm and its direction around the two-thirds mark. By the finish, the punch has left the lines, and the once-purposeful energy goes mindlessly manic - gone are both the point and the parody. |
