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...

The Spectator

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.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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.

Vague Visages

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.

Solzy at the Movies

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