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).

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review ETHAN M While Kill Bill Vol. 2 will surely flesh out the backstory and provide insight into everything we see in Vol. 1, it still works on it's own as an incredibly entertaining, delightfully violent time.
