Engaging, but self-aggrandizing

Rating: 7/10 (29 January 2019)

I think I would have enjoyed The Hateful Eight more if Quentin Tarantino would have stopped taking victory laps throughout the movie. I liked the story, but I felt like the film is trying to show off how artistic and shocking it could be at every turn, and constantly patting itself on the back. It's a bit gruesome for my tastes, but I did appreciate the acting, the score and the cinematography.
