Highly recommend

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2020)

A high quality film, as I assumed it would be.
I'm not actually a big fan of the cast here though, which is rare based on the other Quentin Tarantino productions I've seen. That's not to say they are bad, absolutely far from it, but I just didn't overly enjoy a lot of the performances.
That's with one huge exception of course - Christoph Waltz. He is outstanding as Landa, it's consistently a joy to watch him act - that early scene with him at the LaPadite household is excellent. Away from Waltz, MÃ©lanie Laurent is very good in her role as Shosanna.
The plot and the way it's portrayed is what stands this film up. It has some majestic, tension-filled scenes, great dialogue and the eventual pay-off is fulfilling. In fact, for me, 'Inglourious Basterds' got a little less interesting between the middle and end parts, though thankfully the conclusion grabbed me back in.
Highly recommend.
