I found it thoroughly engaging

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2020)

Wonderful re-creation of 1969 Los Angeles. While there were a few small anachronisms, Tanantino's obsessive attention to detail served him very well. I found the movie thoroughly engaging. I see a lot of criticism on this site about the movie's slow pace, or what they consider pointless scenes. I guess if you watch all of the "superhero" movies that Hollywood mostly puts out these days, you can't sit through forty minutes without an explosion, or a car chase, or otherworldly CGI. There is actually great cinematic value in getting to know the characters. I can't say much about the plot without spoiling. I was very happy that I knew nothing of the big twists in this film, and enjoyed them immensely. Great acting by everyone, good direction, fantastic photography. Definitely worth seeing. (If you don't know much history, then this film is probably not for you.)
