Perfect Tarantino

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2020)

People who don't like this movie must not care for Tarantino. His style is unique and understated, up until it hits the fan. The first two hours are not slow or boring. It's everything you love about Hollywood in the 60s, with perfectly parsed out character development and foreshadowing, followed up by incredibly satisfying gratuitous violence that rewrites history. I was hesitant to watch this film because I knew Sharon Tate and her baby and her friends' terribly sad fate. But Tarantino grants the viewers their fairy tale ending, with justice for the evil and life for the characters we've grown attached to throughout the film. And speaking of the characters, Pitt, Robbie, and DiCaprio each hit it out of the park - not to mention the huge supporting cast. I think this is my new favorite Tarantino film.
