The first reviews of the movie have been uniformly positive with the film currently sporting a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Move over the Avengers, piss of Dark Knight and vamoose you Hobbit critters, there is only one film that matters this year and that is - Tarantino's Django Unchained.
"Quentin Tarantino's
brilliant and brutal revenge western is a wildly exciting return to
form: a thrilling adventure in genre and style climaxing in a bizarre
and nightmarish scenario in a slave plantation in 1858. The movie is
managed with Tarantino's superb provocation and audacity, with a
whiplash of cruelty and swagger of scorn. It is superbly acted by
Christoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio and, particularly, Samuel L Jackson,
who creates a masterpiece with his chilling character Stephen, the
grey, stooping servant-elder to DiCaprio's unspeakable slave-owner
Calvin Candie." The Guardian
"Tarantino's most distrubing movie." Mike Ryan, Huffington Post
"Applying the episodic format and visual template of classic and
spaghetti Westerns to a revenge saga mostly set in the Deep South just
before the Civil War, the film makes a point of pushing the savagery of
slavery to the forefront but does so in a way that rather amazingly
dovetails with the heightened historical, stylistic and comic
sensibilities at play. The anecdotal, odyssey-like structure of this
long, talky saga could be considered indulgent, but Tarantino injects
the weighty material with so many jocular, startling and unexpected
touches that it’s constantly stimulating. A stellar cast and strong
action and comedy elements will attract a good-sized audience
internationally, though distaste for the subject matter and the
irreverent take on a tragic subject might make some prospective viewers
hesitate." Hollywood Reporter
