brandished a quality seldom found in any niche of contemporary filmmaking: unironic honesty.

Watered down take on an already worn branch of fiction.

Best cameo of All Time.

Lots of fun. Made me want to watch Django like Mad Men makes smokers need to take breaks in ten minute viewing intervals.

I really do like this film. Not much to say that hasn't already been said about the photography, art direction, costume design, period attention, and the music. On the other hand, I don't feel like the script stands the test of time. This movie blew me away the first time (particularly on the emotional front), was very pleasant to look at the second time, though felt pretty mechanical the third time.

Field creates two very stark atmospheres in this film and the transition between them is jarring and disorienting, due to the harsh juxtaposition itself. I think it's rare for a writer-director to be able to create such a nauseatingly sudden drop with such- dare I say it- grace, and for that, Todd Field has carved out a pretty high spot in my list.

I want to be Django when I grow up.

One of my favorites of 2010. I love the avid sense of audience participation, and the text messages from (arguably) the director herself was a great touch.

I... well, I didn't mind it-- *is instantly gunned down by hordes of film snobs*

This film resonated with me on a level I did not expect. I had such an easy time relating to Guido in most ways, it was almost scary. Magical movie.
