      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Kill Bill is admittedly little more than a stylish revenge thriller -- albeit one that benefits from a wildly inventive surfeit of style.

      Geoffrey O'Brien Film Comment Magazine ... Kill Bill confirms [Quentin Tarantino] as a filmmaker of astonishing invention and aplomb... Mar 22, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online There's nothing like a good 'ole revenge heist (complete with a hit list) to make this film one of Tarantino's best. Rated: A- Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Visually striking, but also very violent. Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review John Brhel Vague Visages A wild, eclectic action movie with visual flair, great performances and personality up the wazoo. Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies A sensationally bloody revenge yarn full of cinematic wizardry and driven by a filmmaker’s insatiable appetite for the movies he grew up with. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof Williamson Home Page It’s a stained glass window of a movie — you only know so much, but everything you need is draped over and around you in shimmering light (and, for this film, fountains of blood).

      Antonio M Storia del cinema, punto! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Andrzej W Just as cool as when i saw it for the first time, the action, pacing, story and the way this movie mixes all of different techniques, art directions makes it one of the most rewatchable movies ever. And damn, there is a lot of feet, lol. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Johannes S It is weird with its fusion of styles but all the more entertaining throughout with the amazing performance by Thurman leading the way. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Mark A classic, perfect homage in every way. From the shot selection to the soundtrack and casting. Peak Tarantino. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Teddy B One of the most satisfying revenge films of all time. Quentin Tarantino's commitment to a variety of styles (even anime, surprisingly) would be sorely missed if put into the hands of a lesser director. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Alilali42 Good movie to watch not even going to lie. Action and all. Not like all these new movies that can't even finish the story right.
