Proves that you dont need a plot to create a masterpiece. 10/10

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2019)

I went into this movie skeptical. I am a huge Tarentino fan, he might be my favorite director along with Scorsese. So i had high expectations, but i was trying to keep them as grounded as possible. This movie surpassed my expectations on every level, and is the best i have seen all year.
One thing that is dividing audiences is that fact that there is pretty much no plot, but i loved this and felt it was handled very well. This movie is pretty much showcasing random events throughout a specific time and generally focuses on dialogue and communications between characters which is excellently written. The cinematography is what you would expect from Tarentino, it looks outstanding. This film is a perfect example of how to make strong, interesting and relatable characters for the audience and its strongest point is easily its characters. The performances help these characters to feel more real, especially Brad Pitt's, but Tarentino's writing of them is equally as good. The pacing constanly feels consistent and this 2hr 45 min movie felt like 1 hour. However the third act is easily the most exciting as Tarentino goes full out Tarentino and its such a satisfying and crowd pleasing ending to watch. I feel like if you look at this movie like a dark comedy, you will enjoy it more. If i have one flaw with the film, it is that i wish the characters of Manson and Tate where a little more fleshed out. I think this could have made the third act more impactful and i could have easily sat for another 20 minutes to see this, but it is just nitpicking and i'm not going to grade the film down for that. But dont listen to me. Or any reviews for that matter. Just watch the movie and form your own opinion, because everyone's experience and personal feeling on it will be different. Overally though, i thought it was a masterpiece and the most refreshing movie i have seen all year. 10/10
