Most limited audience for a QT film

Rating: 5/10 (11 January 2020)

I can't help but feel that this is a movie made for a certain audience. It will also, most likely, be the most limited audience for a QT film too. Ironic considering some of its themes deal with creative anxiety and acceptance. (I can't see myself watching it again, unlike so many of his others).
Yes, as many have said, this is a long film. Scenes fail to build the plot let alone maintain any momentum. As a homage to the industry and era? Wonderful. The absolutely beautiful sets and whole production design is remarkable. The acting, stellar. Particularly Pitt. But for me, this is lost when the story moves at such a glacial pace. Particularly for the first hour and 30 minutes.
Compare this to Django, Basterds, or Pulp and the script and dialogue are light years apart. Is this a reflection of a more assured and mature QT? I'm not sure because it does have a whiff of self indulgence too. Especially following from the gorgeous but overly long Hateful 8.
I don't know, your mileage may vary, but for me it's a miss.
