The Hateful Eight

"Quentin Tarantino's most beautiful, riveting and intimate movie so far (...) a superb Ennio Morricone score (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five) 

"Agatha Christie with gags, guns and Samuel L Jackson. (...) A three-hour masterpiece (...) Tarantino has created another breathtakingly stylish and clever film (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five) 

"A slow-burn, meditative chamber piece that only gradually reveals its grander, bloodier ambitions (...) 'The Hateful Eight’s' impact expands and grows richer the further away you are from the experience of watching it." 

"What the film does offer is brilliant writing and some wonderfully eccentric and lively performances (...) the film manages to deal in surprisingly trenchant fashion with racial politics in post Civil War America. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"An uncompromising epic that's pure Tarantino. (...) With its minimalist setting and vivid themes, 'The Hateful Eight' suggests 'Reservoir Dogs' set in the world of 'Django Unchained'." 

"The movie absolutely delivers on the sheer moment-to-moment pleasures fans have come to expect, from dynamite dialogue to powder-keg confrontations." 

"The Hateful Eight doesn't have enough ideas (...) It's narratively and visually claustrophobic. Fortunately, the director's genius for casting hasn't abandoned him."
