ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR THUS FAR

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2019)

This is a movie that is not for everyone, since it is very slow and many scenes do not push the plot forward. I enjoyed the filler scenes, since they where all funny and explored the interesting characters of the movie. Speaking of funny, this movie has a great sense of comedy, with the climax making me and the entire theatre laugh out loud. All the performances are stellar (especialy Leonardo Decaprio and Brad Pitt) and give a special charisma to all the already great characters. The edditing and cinematography are great. You can see that this is a passion project, from how accurate the sets and costumes look. There are many details in the movie (like how the value of the dollar corespunds with the year) that make it feel more authentic. Some characters could have had more screentime, but I still highly recommend this incredible period-piece!
