Django Unchained

Tarantino designed this revisionist western to blow people's gaskets. Packed with physical comedy, bloody action and hell-bent revenge, it looks like a classic widescreen Sergio Leone western...

A good film, and a crazily entertaining film, until Tarantino does blow everything up, at which point it just becomes rather silly.

The film is at times brilliant but mostly infuriating. It is a good movie in that masturbatory way most Tarantino films are good.

Django Unchained is a ruthless and romantic epic that is also filled with unbridled entertainment that challenges audiences, rather than coddling them.

It's an intelligently provocative, massively entertaining exercise in postmodern revisionism, highlighting how shamefully few movies Hollywood has ever made about slavery.

It was a mixed bag for me; some great moments scattered about amongst lots of humdrum, considering the subject matter.

Django Unchained is still one of Quentin Tarantino’s finest works to date thanks to an excellent, extremely memorable script and a brilliant cast

By tackling a massive western, the writer and director continues to prove that he has never been short on ambition and gives us his grandest spectacle yet.

It might not be the most innovative in Tarantino’s oeuvre, but it’s got real stakes and memorable characters one can root for. Django is packed with Tarantino’s postmodern trademarks, but it also has the added value of actually addressing serious issues.

In Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino brings his revisionist style to the Spaghetti Western in one of his most violent movies to date.
