Anne Thompson IndieWire 03/31/2020
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... Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator 09/04/2018
A good film, and a crazily entertaining film, until Tarantino does blow everything up, at which point it just becomes rather silly. Go to Full Review Roxane Gay BuzzFeed News 05/25/2018
The film is at times brilliant but mostly infuriating. It is a good movie in that masturbatory way most Tarantino films are good. Go to Full Review Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews 07/29/2024
4/5
Django Unchained is still one of Quentin Tarantino’s finest works to date thanks to an excellent, extremely memorable script and a brilliant cast Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 04/07/2024
4/5
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. Go to Full Review John Brhel Vague Visages 06/05/2023
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric 04/25/2025 I wish I could give this movie 10 stars. Best movie that I’ve ever seen! See more Matt 08/31/2023 LOVED IT! Never seen this before. You’re missing out if you don’t watch this. See more Darrin M @RT15057856 16h Top 3-5 best films made of all-time imo. I wish I could give Django 6 stars. Tarantino peak. This ones even slightly more entertaining than Pulp Fiction. See more Keith B @Okbullard 2d This was such an outstanding film and cast I ended up buying the Blu Ray. I would typically state my top five favorite films but it's impossible to do that with Tarantino. It's very violent but absolutely worth the watch. See more Antoni W @Antonir Aug 20 It's not the first Tarantino masterclass, but it sure is special. Matter of fact, this one is one in ten thousand. See more Scott M @RT75128960 Aug 16 Not a fan of this Tarantino movie. I did enjoy the first half when the two of them are traveling together. But once they got there, the movie drags. The story itself is a good one. But not the execution. See more Read all reviews
