The Hateful Eight
No list with the best movies of a year can be complete without a Tarantino film. And, for us, The Hateful Eight is that film. Sure enough, it isn’t as bombastic as Django Unchained, just like it isn’t as complex as Pulp Fiction. But maybe this is a better thing, since in this way the director had more time to approach his characters and bring them to life.
And all of them are alive – from Samuel L. Jackson’s Major to Zoë Bell’s supporting character. In just a couple of seconds, you know who they are and what their role is in the entire plot.
And even if some say that Tarantino overdid it with the usage of nigger or with the violence (Kurt Russel’s Hangman elbows a woman, seemingly without reason, in the first minutes he is introduced), this is still one of the masterpieces of the year. We cannot even fathom the thought of this movie never being made because the script was leaked.
And if you want to see one of the best female performances of the year, watch The Hateful Eight and pay attention to Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Daisy Domergue.
