The longest hold-out of the awards season, "Django Unchained," finally screened for an audience that was allowed to publish their reactions, and the response should please anyone who has been dying for the latest effort from Quentin Tarantino.
Audience members at a Directors Guild of America screening over the weekend enthusiastically tweeted their thoughts after an early screening of "Django Unchained," which they praised highly for its humor, violence, and action. That sounds about right.
Check out a round-up of some of the tweets after the jump!
Thanks to /Film for rounding up a good sampling of the tweets after the DGA's screening.

Django was terrific. DiCaprio blows the roof off the joint.
