Savor the journey, don't worry about the destination

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2019)

Quentin Tarantino's 9th film is much less action focused than you would expect.
This one's main goal is capturing the 1960's Hollywood era from the perspective of three main characters: a young actress which is well known amongst the Hollywood elite but not so known by the public, a movie star facing the decline of his career and his trust worthy stunt double (who does a lot more for his boss than just performing his stunts).
And in that portrayal, the movie is outstanding. The long scenes following the characters in their mundane moments make this world seem so much more believable.There is a lot of driving through LA, a lot of walking and generally a lot of scenes which the more action oriented people mind find dragging and pointless but without them the characters wouldn't feel so real and authentic, especially considering that they are played by famous actors.
Great cinematography.Good soundtrack. Top notch performances from a legendary cast of talented actors.
The main complaint would be the lack of character development and of a definitive conclusion.
Overall an impressively immersive film that will entertain you for its entire length if you are patient and you don't expect for every scene to add up to some grand final showdown.
