Almost as Good as Pulp Fiction and Definitely Better than most of QT's Schlock

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2019)

Apparently divorcing Tarantino from Weinstein was just what the doctor ordered. It was glorious seeing Cliff beat the out of Clem and put those deranged scumbags in their place. The fantasy gore-fest on the family at the end was precious. If the credits had been followed by a CGI'ed trailer of Rick Dalton starring in Chinatown I would have given this film 9 stars. I've find it nearly impossible to sit through most of Tarantino's childish cartoon garbage designed for ignorant ADD half-wits, which is how I characterize most of his work after the masterpiece PF, but this film shows he is truly capable of streaks of comedic brilliance worthy of an intelligent audience. Dicaprio is guaranteed the best actor Oscar for his tortured acting scenes within the film. Pitt is a bit of a lightweight as usual, but he fit his role perfectly and might win best supporting actor on likability and comedic timing alone.
