Hollywood loving slow burner

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2019)

Brad Pitt's easy swag at once aligns and contrasts with his sharp stunt scenes. The movie's pace matched his easy swag.
Having lived in the LA area, felt connected to the movie to be able to relate to city names and street names referenced. Clearly, lot of love and detailing has gone into capturing the sixties. I can imagine the nostalgia that the movie can evoke in the audience of that generation.
The movie has it's own unique style and character. You can feel the mastery as the movie draws you in coolly and surely.
Dicaprio has done some scenes pretty well. But I enjoyed watching Brad Pitt much more than I enjoyed Di Caprio's character. All of Brad's scenes worked while some of Dicaprio's did not. Margot Robbie has played her part nicely as well.
Violence is usually exaggerated in Tarantino movies. This one felt a bit less so. Stark, gory, stylish but not obviously over-exaggerated.
Story line is very interesting in the sense that the movie does not capitalize on the actual event that the movie is based on, but instead just leads you there. It is a bit of a mysterious movie, charming as well. Must watch if you are a Tarantino fan, though quite unlike his other movies.
