Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
Rent/Purchase
A former assassin, known simply as The Bride, wakes from a coma four years after her jealous ex-lover Bill attempts to murder her on her wedding day. Fueled by an insatiable desire for revenge, she vows to get even with every person who contributed to the loss of her unborn child, her entire wedding party, and four years of her life. After devising a hit list, The Bride sets off on her quest, enduring unspeakable injury and unscrupulous enemies.
What critics thought
The combined cut of both Kill Bill volumes earns near-universal admiration, with critics treating it as the definitive version of Tarantino's revenge epic — the pacing and tonal shifts that divided audiences across two separate releases now read as intentional and cohesive. The film's genre-hopping ambition, from spaghetti-western melancholy to hyper-stylized action, lands with full force when experienced as a single work.
“Tarantino finally gets to complete his own work of cinematic archeology, and what he exhumes springs to life like the first time it was projected”
Richard Whittaker·The Austin Chronicle
“Whatever your feelings about Tarantino and his work, this is a tremendous visceral experience, with radiant colors, slate-somber black-and-white, and geysers of crimson blood. To quote the end of another Tarantino film, it just might be his masterpiece”
