	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Tarantino injects the weighty material with so many jocular, startling and unexpected touches that it's constantly stimulating"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"I can only say Django delivers, wholesale, that particular narcotic and delirious pleasure that Tarantino still knows how to confect in the cinema (...) It's as unwholesome, deplorable and delicious as a forbidden cigarette (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A jolt of pure cinema, dazzling, disreputable and thrillingly alive (...) Is 'Django Unchained' too much? Damn straight. It wouldn't be Tarantino otherwise (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"An immensely satisfying taste of antebellum empowerment packaged as spaghetti-Western homage (...) Once again, Quentin Tarantino rides to the Weinsteins' rescue, delivering a bloody hilarious (and hilariously bloody) Christmas counter-programmer"	POS
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"Another strong, sparky and bloody entry in the QT canon. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"'Django Unchained' (...) is exactly what you might expect from the fearless, controversial director of Pulp Fiction—it’s overlong, raunchy, shocking, grim, exaggerated (...) you won’t see anything else quite like it"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The film offers one sensational sequence after another (...) This is a brilliant entertainment (...) Yes, had I not been prevented from seeing it sooner because of an injury, this would have been on my year's best films list. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"As in all of Tarantino’s best films, there is a strange and brilliant magic at work here; a dark, bubbling alchemy of art and junk (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Django Unchained' is crazily entertaining, brazenly irresponsible and also ethically serious in a way that is entirely consistent with its playfulness."	POS
