The Hateful Eight

The Hateful Eight may really be sort of terrible.

While it's not his best film (it's far too long and indulgent at times), Tarantino absorbs the audience into a scene, compelling you to look at each and every inch of it--indicative of many vintage films (his usual film playground).

The Hateful Eight often feels more like a sadistic stage play than a movie. [Full review in Japanese]

The Hateful Eight has lots to love, but just as much to abhor, making it an elegant enigma that's as frustrating as it is impressive.

Some of Tarantino's worst instincts are on display in The Hateful Eight, which -- damnit! -- could've been so great.

A gloriously unhinged, wildly unpredictable, yet subtly existential piece of work.

Tarantino's newest film doesn't know when to quit. It just goes and dies, literally and figuratively.

When looking at Tarantino's filmography, The Hateful Eight doesn't hold a candle to works like 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Kill Bill,' but it's an entertaining film nonetheless — if you don't mind the runtime.

[Tarantino] manages to strike the delicate balance of keeping the intimacy of a stage while still infusing the material with enough cinematic flourishes to keep it from feeling too constrained.

This film is alive with great performances, breathtakingly shot visuals, and a story that seems to rush by over the course of three hours.
