Review by: San Francisco Chronicle

“The most consistently entertaining movie of 2012. It’s 165 minutes long and shouldn’t be a minute shorter, a film of surprises, both in story and in casting, and of moments of agonizing, teased-out tension. The dialogue is dazzling.”

Review by: Wallstreet Journal

“The film doesn’t play it safe, so neither will I. Instead, I’ll say that it finds Mr. Tarantino perched improbably but securely on the top of a production that’s wildly extravagant, ferociously violent, ludicrously lurid and outrageously entertaining, yet also, remarkably, very much about the pernicious lunacy of racism and, yes, slavery’s singular horrors.”

Review by: Chicago Sun-Times

“What Tarantino has is an appreciation for gut-level exploitation film appeal, combined with an artist’s desire to transform that gut element with something higher, better, more daring. His films challenge taboos in our society in the most direct possible way, and at the same time add an element of parody or satire.”

Review by: New York Times

Like “Inglourious Basterds,” Django Unchained is crazily entertaining, brazenly irresponsible and also ethically serious in a way that is entirely consistent with its playfulness.
