A milestone in Tarantino's filmography

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2018)

The unfortunate death of the long-time and faithful Tarantino's editor, Sally Menke, is felt on this movie for the first time. The editing feels less sharp, less nimble and less focused. Nevertheless, the direction, cinematography, and overall tone of the film paid great homage to the western genre without tripping over itself while attempting to do so. Although a case could be made for the somewhat unpolished and short arc of Django's character, it's still very clearly a Tarantino movie in every aspect. It may not be his best work so far, but it's still worth checking it out for the cast's exceptional performance.
