Philip De Semlyen Time Out For all the fun clips and well-placed interviewees, this Tarantino doc has all the critical punch of a DVD extra. Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2019 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety Even those who already know a great deal about Tarantino will groove on the anecdotes and insights. Oct 19, 2019 Full Review Susanna Norbiato Loud and Clear Reviews Though the film is a little bit too long and its first part initially struggles to take off, QT8: The First Eight is still recommended to all cinema lovers, and not to be missed by the director’s fans. Rated: 3/5 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review John Brhel Vague Visages QT8: The First Eight is a serviceable, well-edited survey of Tarantino’s filmography prior to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia I certainly find entertaining the way it reviews the first 21 years of the career of an extraordinary director who has already built a legend around his films. Full review in Spanish Rated: 7/10 Apr 30, 2022 Full Review Andrew Dex Starburst Stunningly describing his creative blueprints and infectious personality, QT8 hits the mark when it comes to showing off Tarantino's special and highly influential career.

Teddy B A comprehensive and incisive documentary that highlights one of cinema's most unique contributors. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Audience Member I'm not a big cinema history guy so a lot of this information was new and interesting and, aside from Kubrick, I can't think of any other director with as large a body of work that I am more excited to watch. The doc was easy to follow, looking at his films in chronological order, accompanied with interviews from many of his famous recurring stars. I do appreciate how, while maybe not adequately blamed in some eyes, the doc did confront negative events such as Uma Thurman's crash on Kill Bill and the relationship Tarantino and Weinstein had for so many years. 7.5/10 Samuel L. Jackson Binge: Jackson was heavily featured and offered many interesting insights on working with Tarantino, and on his own personal approach to acting as well, each of which I found more relevant having watched so much of their work lately. SLJ January #70 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review james b Well it's about the making of Q.T.s first EIGHT movies so I think that should be enough for most YES..? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's just fascinating to see a bit of Tarantino's process through some of his co workers and friends. It's exceptionally made, and they don't shy away from the hard subjects. Tarantino is an absolute genius, and this film definitely does him justice. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy buen documental que narra la historias de las 8 primeras películas dirigidas por Tarantino. Desde su increíble comienzo como "Reservoir Dogs", su fama en Cannes y algo de su vida "geek". Las entrevistas con Samuel Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Zoe Bell y Michael Madsen son muy buenas. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic documentary, with a deeper looking inside the mind of qt, highly recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
