Further proof that Tarantino does genre like no one else

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2019)

Vivid, relaxed, nostalgic and indulgent, Tarantino's 9th film is, by its own small stroke of brilliance, a near complete divergence from his previous works. As a slow burner, this film notably values character above plot, and has a loose structure that seems to lack in the urgency that drives works such as Inglorious Basterds or Django Unchained. Nonetheless, in true Tarantino fashion, it delivers an acting masterclass, and serves as proof that Tarantino does genre pieces, and shows versatility in the face of expectation, like no one else.
This film isn't for everyone. But don't let that stop you for enjoying you what it is - another brilliant film.
