Fun nostalgia and thrills from a fan boy director who is basically a big kid

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2019)

This is arguably Tarantino's most clever movie and is great that he hasn't compromised. If he had, it wouldn't be the future cult classic it is destined to be.
It's 1969 and the sun is setting on a Hollywood legend's career. He and his stunt double are hopeful that the good times are not yet over.
Featuring delightful star 'cameos' and lavish shots which ooze 60's nostalgia, OUATIH makes no attempt to be follow any genre rules. The story, at face value appears to be mundane and a bit pointless.
If you know nothing of the history surrounding this moment in time, the movie will appear to be going nowhere but I was feeling the crushing tension of what was building, very slowly, throughout the film.
It's hard to talk at length without revealing too much; the finale was, for me, a triumph.
OUATIH is filled with Tarantino's shameless, naive exuberance and will either have you buzzing or groaning by the end. It won't work for everyone.
