A Christmas gift from Tarantino!!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2019)

This is easily Tarantino's best film in years. Maybe better than Inglorious Bastards. It's the story of a slave turned bounty hunter who goes in search for his wife.
Jamie Foxx as Django was great. But the scene stealers were DiCaprio, Samuel L Jackson and Christoph Waltz. All three were terrific, and although Waltz got the academy award, Jackson and DiCaprio were equally deserving.
This is not an action film, though whenever there is action, it's great. Not everyone will like this movie. Some people will get offended, and some will get grossed out by the hyper violence. But this is exactly what I love about Tarantino. He doesn't pull his punches, and is completely unapologetic.
The movie is also very humorous. There is a Klu Klux Klan scene that had me in splits. It's easily one of the funniest scenes ever filmed.
The first time I saw this movie, I thought that the movie was 15 minutes too long. However on subsequent viewings I realized that if I had been the editor, I would not have edited anything out of the movie. And if one can't think of anything to cut, then maybe it's not the movie's flaw. Maybe I just prefer short films.
I'm going with 5 out of 5 stars.
