Anne Thompson IndieWire 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... Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator A good film, and a crazily entertaining film, until Tarantino does blow everything up, at which point it just becomes rather silly. Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Roxane Gay BuzzFeed News The film is at times brilliant but mostly infuriating. It is a good movie in that masturbatory way most Tarantino films are good. May 25, 2018 Full Review Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews Django Unchained is still one of Quentin Tarantino’s finest works to date thanks to an excellent, extremely memorable script and a brilliant cast Rated: 4/5 Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan 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. Rated: 4/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review John Brhel 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. Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Eric I wish I could give this movie 10 stars. Best movie that I’ve ever seen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Matt LOVED IT! Never seen this before. You’re missing out if you don’t watch this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Obi-wan K Jamie Foxx Was literally born for this he is so good As django.And it will prob be my fav American-Western Movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Aditya S With the theme of western action films at its core, Django Unchained is a masterfully written, unashamedly violent, brilliantly acted and thoroughly entertaining addition to Tarantino's filmography. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Faiz D Absolutely loved every minute of Django Unchained. It is pretty much exactly what you would want from a Tarantino western. Jamie, Christoph, Leonardo, Samuel were all brilliant in their roles, and the selection of soundtrack by QT was absolutely amazing. The only gripe here was that this film was a little too long. Overall, I would say Tarantino has made yet another great movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Chief B Frikkin masterpiece. It's brutal but it still doesn't glorify it. I'd say it starts out perfect but when it hit the hour and roughly 20 minutes mark it's getting even better and better and better. And me personally love Tarantino using Sergio Leone inspired way of story telling and style since he's my favorite director. It's an ode to him if you ask me mashing it up with his own style making it a perfect mix. I remember watching this for the first time ended up watching it three times in one week. MASTERPIECE!!
