Critics Consensus

Bold, bloody, and stylistically daring, Django Unchained is another incendiary masterpiece from Quentin Tarantino.

All the performers involved are hitting their mark with pitch perfect bravado and Tarantino once again proves that he's the king of cinema.

One of my favorites. Great performances all around, but Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio deliver two of my favorite performances of their careers.
