Way better than expected.

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2019)

I watch most of Tarantino's movies, but only enjoy a few. I find them quite pretentious and filled with inane dialouge and campy effects that turns a decent movie into a bloated snooze fest.
I started this movie not really knowing what it was about, and I'm glad I did. I feel like if I'd read all of the articles and reviews, it would've taken the element of surprise out of it.
I really enjoyed how this film intertwined real characters/events with the fictional characters. I loved seeing the portrayals of Tate, McQueen, Phillips, Lee and others. There was a sense of dread knowing what happened to Sharon, so the twist at the end was great. I do think this movie would be better with about 30 minutes shaved off, would be easy to do. But still enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
