Django Unchained is still one of Quentin Tarantino’s finest works to date thanks to an excellent, extremely memorable script and a brilliant cast

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 29, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 7, 2024

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.

In Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino brings his revisionist style to the Spaghetti Western in one of his most violent movies to date.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2022

Quentin Tarantino continues to play with history and cinematic tradition in Django Unchained, his self-proclaimed “Southern” whose deposits of blaxploitation and Spaghetti Western filmmaking engage a violent saga of revenge and historical atrocity.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 20, 2022

The good moments are really good, but each of them are bookended by one questionable narrative choice or a blast of QT style that doesn’t always help the film as a whole.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 20, 2022

It's a fun but flawed film on the cusp of mastery that comes up slightly short.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 23, 2022

Two Tarantinos directed each a half of the film, a dizzying way of telling a dizzying story, all of it to bring the western apocalypse, referencing Kill Bill (USA, 2003) and culminating with and ending that is so pop culture... [Full review in Spanish]

I think to myself that "disappointed" is a strong word for it. But it's not. Pieces work but somehow the movie just really didn't gel.

Packed with thrilling gunfights, tense drama, memorable quippy dialogue, and an impressive collection of breakout performances (minus Tarantino's weird cameo), Django Unchained easily ranks among the very best films Tarantino has ever produced.

Gutsy and entertaining.

| Original Score: A- | Sep 18, 2021

Django is another example of Tarantino looking at cultural American history through the lens of privilege, twisting truth and fiction through a grotesque, funhouse mirror.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2021

Django Unchained is a miserable work, implausible and unconvincing from beginning to end (unlike the best "spaghetti Westerns" Tarantino claims to admire).

| Feb 12, 2021

Christoph Waltz once again turns in a performance (largely due to the writing) that is astoundingly likeable and worthy of award consideration.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 1, 2020

There's a lot of lunacy in Django Unchained.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 6, 2020

Django Unchained may cross the line in its excess, but all the while, it remains consistently riveting up to its spectacular end.

| Original Score: A | Jul 29, 2020

Tarantino accomplishes what he set out to do, make a fun, violent, badass spaghetti western. He brings together the classic aesthetics of the genre, with his modern, pop culture saturated sensibilities, and his whip smart dialogue.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 10, 2020

Is another great film from Tarantino that reflects the level of maturity his cinema has reached. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 25, 2020

A loose-cannon Best Picture pick.

| Jun 19, 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...
