	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The undeniable passion that drives 'Kill Bill' is fascinating, even, strange to say it, endearing"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Film is a densely textured work that gets better as it goes along"	POS
United Kingdom	Mike Goodridge Screendaily	"[It] continues the director's tradition of raiding other films, film-makers' styles and his own soundtrack collection. And like his three previous films, the result of his looting is a delirious cinematic confection which bears a signature all his own"	POS
United States	Mark Caro Chicago Tribune	"There's no question that Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill, Vol. 1' is a virtuoso piece of filmmaking; what's questionable is whether it's more than that"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] shows Quentin Tarantino so effortlessly and brilliantly in command of his technique that he reminds me of a virtuoso violinist racing through 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Nell Minow Common Sense Media	"This is a stylish and visually striking movie (...) Fans of this genre will find it sensationally entertaining. The action scenes are brilliantly staged"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It may not be the best film of the year, nor the best Tarantino film. But it's sure as hell got to be the best way, the only way, to mainline pure adrenaline in the cinema (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Killingly funny, wildly inventive, bloody as a gushing artery and heart-stoppingly beautiful. Tarantino has the talent to show us what’s sacred about the profane"	POS
