Anne Thompson IndieWire 03/31/2020
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... Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator 09/04/2018
A good film, and a crazily entertaining film, until Tarantino does blow everything up, at which point it just becomes rather silly. Go to Full Review Roxane Gay BuzzFeed News 05/25/2018
The film is at times brilliant but mostly infuriating. It is a good movie in that masturbatory way most Tarantino films are good. Go to Full Review Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews 07/29/2024
4/5
Django Unchained is still one of Quentin Tarantino’s finest works to date thanks to an excellent, extremely memorable script and a brilliant cast Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 04/07/2024
4/5
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. Go to Full Review John Brhel Vague Visages 06/05/2023
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric Apr 25 I wish I could give this movie 10 stars. Best movie that I’ve ever seen! See more Matt 08/31/2023 LOVED IT! Never seen this before. You’re missing out if you don’t watch this. See more Alejandro G @Elitemovietasteonly Dec 15 When I think of my favorite movies, this is one that always comes to mind. Love him or hate him, Quentin Tarantino makes some great revenge fantasy movies and this, in my opinion, is one of his best. Great cast, sound track, action, emotion, revenge. If you wanna see evil people lose, this is a great watch. See more Neil B. @NEILB1981 Dec 12 This along with Kill Bill best QT movies of all time imo 🔥🔥🔥 See more Tommy H Dec 6 I’m giving it four stars because it has some great acting and a few excellent moments but in truth it’s closer to a 3.5. It’s stuffed with boring filler, runs far too long, and the ending is, in my opinion, pretty rubbish. See more Laurian D @Laurian Dec 3 A deliciously crazy movie by a deliciously crazy director, carried by a deliciously crazy cast. The final act has a few clichés that keep it from being perfect, but it's almost there. Get in the saddle and watch this one, it's a hell of a ride. Tip: watch the 1966 "Django" movie with Franco Nero first, in order to enjoy his cameo and nods to the original. Or don't, it's still great. See more Read all reviews
