Not quite the Tarantino tale you were looking for

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2020)

Like most of Tarrantino films there are some moments of genius cinematography (such as the falsely portrayed bad editing) and story telling but unfortunately this film has some long lulls in-between those moments.
The story of Sharon Tate is absolutely baffling and leads nowhere within the film other than making her look like a complete bimbo and just seems to be a love letter to fellow director Roman Polanski rather than any story within the film. Are you supposed to think that Rick Dalton gains a few more years of grace in Hollywood due to having a drink with her after the credits roll? Unlikely seeing as there is a minor plot during the credits that would suggest not. Just utterly confusing as to what part she played in the film other than eye candy.
The culmination of plots lead up to a satisfying Tarantinoesque finale with some gruesome moments of violence in it but does it warrant the watch? I enjoyed it for the most but definitely felt that the pacing for the first 60-90 minutes was hardly memorable and somewhat tedious. That being said, if you enjoy Tarantino's previous works you'll likely enjoy this, just not as much a some of his other films.
