The Hateful Eight Reviews

Tarantino's newest film doesn't know when to quit. It just goes and dies, literally and figuratively.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2024

When looking at Tarantino's filmography, The Hateful Eight doesn't hold a candle to works like 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Kill Bill,' but it's an entertaining film nonetheless — if you don't mind the runtime.

| Jun 5, 2023

[Tarantino] manages to strike the delicate balance of keeping the intimacy of a stage while still infusing the material with enough cinematic flourishes to keep it from feeling too constrained.

| Original Score: 9/10 | May 27, 2022

This film is alive with great performances, breathtakingly shot visuals, and a story that seems to rush by over the course of three hours.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 23, 2022

A film where the dialogues are a character ítself. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2021

Quentin Tarantino rolls out another genre-splicing classic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2021

It's big and daring but also, I'm afraid, bloated, with a pay off not large enough to justify the more than three-hour running time.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Whatever their motivation, the results justify it all the way, allowing the super-wide, 2.75:1 frame to capture many characters within the same frame, playing the background against the foreground...

The mystery has few surprises, particularly as the tension is mitigated by prolonged conversations in a stagecoach, a stable, a way station, and around a dinner table.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 4, 2020

I wouldn't mind being exhausted watching The Hateful Eight if it actually added up to something or said something or even just managed to entertain me.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

For a simple premise and multi-layered characters, Tarantino's expert style and execution makes his eighth film an enjoyable experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 17, 2020

The Hateful Eight is a hilarious, suspenseful, bloody and masterful epic. It might also just be the year's best film.

| Jun 30, 2020

Only in Quentin Tarantino's mind is the idea of filming a western as violent, as entertaining and as original as 'The Hateful Eight'. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jun 26, 2020

Tarantino has created a highly immersive world populated by fully fleshed-out characters, but he's also made a movie that's incredibly cruel. The third act, in particular, is chock full of cruelty...

| Feb 13, 2020

There are a hundred reasons why a three-hour widescreen epic that devolves into an Agatha Christie play shouldn't work, and yet... The Hateful Eight comes off as more satisfying than Inglourious Basterds or Django Unchained.

| Jan 13, 2020

The Hateful Eight still stands head and shoulders above most other fare on offer in cinemas right now, and it's a worthy addition to the Tarantino library.

| Jan 8, 2020

It takes something special like a Tarantino film to relive that trembling magic of the cinema.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 3, 2019

The Hateful Eight is ambitious, complex yet wildly entertaining. For a 187-minute film, it's worth it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 18, 2019

The Hateful Eight contains the traditional Tarantino values of racism, violence, and controversy but sets itself apart with brilliant cinematography and classic, mysterious story-telling.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 13, 2019

Now, 'This' is how you make a movie!
