733216, Throw my whole review of this film in the trash....

This is not a midrange QT film, it's his worst.

Tarantino was trying his hand at being an AUTEUR auteur by being overly provocative and it came off silly and obnoxious. The film undercuts any point it has to make with its crassness.

The film is indulgent and reeks of a director getting an inch and taking miles. The exterior photography is absolutely gorgeous and 70mm was the right choice for those shots. But the majority of the film is indoors so the aspect ratio was wasted.

The score is still A+ but it's on this film.

Hateful Eight is like a child prodigy playing an amazing technical piano piece only to hit wrong notes on purpose in the most obnoxious way possible. And, according to some of those interviews at the time, Tarantino actually thought he was saying something interesting about race with this movie. Bitchplz.
