Django Unchained

"Tarantino injects the weighty material with so many jocular, startling and unexpected touches that it's constantly stimulating" 

"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)"





 

"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" 

"'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" 

"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)" 

"'Django Unchained' is crazily entertaining, brazenly irresponsible and also ethically serious in a way that is entirely consistent with its playfulness." 

"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)"
