Kill Bill: Volume 1

"The undeniable passion that drives 'Kill Bill' is fascinating, even, strange to say it, endearing" 

"Film is a densely textured work that gets better as it goes along" 

"[It] continues the director's tradition of raiding other films, film-makers' styles and his own soundtrack collection. And like his three previous films, the result of his looting is a delirious cinematic confection which bears a signature all his own" 

"There's no question that Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill, Vol. 1' is a virtuoso piece of filmmaking; what's questionable is whether it's more than that" 

"[It] shows Quentin Tarantino so effortlessly and brilliantly in command of his technique that he reminds me of a virtuoso violinist racing through 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"This is a stylish and visually striking movie (...) Fans of this genre will find it sensationally entertaining. The action scenes are brilliantly staged" 

"It may not be the best film of the year, nor the best Tarantino film. But it's sure as hell got to be the best way, the only way, to mainline pure adrenaline in the cinema (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Killingly funny, wildly inventive, bloody as a gushing artery and heart-stoppingly beautiful. Tarantino has the talent to show us what’s sacred about the profane"
