Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 70 comments (48 from Metacritic, 14 from Reddit, 8 from TMDB reviews) — 9 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 9 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“A sharp shock of a film in an Awards season very full of movies so noble they become immobile. It's wildly unlikely to get much love from the Academy, and that's fine-bluntly, it's too good for them. With its bloody stew of history and hysteria, action taken from movies and atrocities taken from fact, Django isn't just a movie only America could make-it's also a movie only America needs to.”
James Rocchi, Boxoffice Magazine · 100
“An immensely satisfying taste of antebellum empowerment packaged as spaghetti-Western homage... A bloody hilarious (and hilariously bloody) Christmas counter-programmer.”
Peter Debruge, Variety · 100
“Django Unchained also has the pure, almost meaningless excitement which I found sorely lacking in Tarantino's previous film, Inglourious Basterds, with its misfiring spaghetti-Nazi trope and boring plot. I can only say Django delivers, wholesale, that particular narcotic and delirious pleasure that Tarantino still knows how to confect in the cinema, something to do with the manipulation of surfaces. It's as unwholesome, deplorable and delicious as a forbidden cigarette.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian · 100
“Exactly what you might expect from the fearless, controversial director of "Pulp Fiction" - it's overlong, raunchy, shocking, grim, exaggerated, self-indulgently over-the-top and so politically incorrect it demands a new definition of the term. It is also bold, original, mesmerizing, stylish and one hell of a piece of entertainment.”
Rex Reed, Observer · 100
“In "Django," Tarantino is a man unchained, creating his most articulate, intriguing, provoking, appalling, hilarious, exhilarating, scathing and downright entertaining film yet.”
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times · 100

“As a black American I thoroughly enjoyed it. A big issue I know other blacks had was that they felt it romanticized slavery. Really all it was was a western taking place during slavery. There were a ton of cringe worthy moments that made it a great movie. I'm 6'5 320lbs. So the guys fighting to the death resonated with me... The way the word nigga rolled off Leonardos tongue damn near made me think he was being for real... Sam Jackson is one of the most entertaining actors of our time and I lov”

“Na 2° metade, eles tentam resgatar a esposa de Django que é uma escrava numa fazenda, enganando o dono da fazenda, interpretado pelo DiCaprio, que é um dono de escravo extremamente racista mas um excelente vilão que rende ótimas cenas. No final, DiCaprio leva a melhor sob o Dr. Shulz, descobrindo seu plano que se vira contra el”
