Revenge of the Big Face Part II

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2019)

Idea and execution rarely succeed at the same rate and after a day I've decided that this movie is better than the naysayers are naysaying it is. It is not going to jump out at you but it is a love letter not to the time but to the real victims who were murdered in real life. Think back to Inglorious Basterds: protagonista dies but she has the last laugh. Sharon Tate was field dressed in reel life; but not only does she survive in the film, her killers get the Tarantino treatment. I like the fact that Tate is shown genuinely enjoying her success. And yes there is the whole end of an era aspect with Brad and Leo, and they are both great. Tarantino is a sniper, not a grunt. Everyone knows that all of his movies get better with every viewing so I hope people take the time to consider all angles without letting their expectations get the better of them.
