A tribute to Hollywood and Tarantino's wit.

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2019)

Starting off this review I must say this film is not for everyone, not because it's an "over the top Tarantino style film", although I must say this is the least excessive of his films that I've seen. This movie is a comedy, that has a heart and makes you feel for its characters. Tarantino proves that he is the king of dialogue, I was glued to the screen for every second of this movie. Leo gives his best performance that I've seen from him and Pitt is an excellent supporting role as well, the two's chemistry makes you wonder how they've never been in a movie together before. You are fully transported and immersed in the culture of the late 60s and what Hollywood was like then, while seeing the parallels between a successful TV star (Leo) and a successful Movie star (Margot Robbie). Tarantino does this masterfully and has made this movie my favorite of his and my favorite movie of the year (so far). There's a lot to take in with this movie (at a nearly 3 hour run time), and I could break down certain scenes (the last 10 minutes were absolute perfection), but this movie isn't just a masterpiece through its acting and technical aspects, it is just a FUN movie, from start to finish. Although primarily a comedy it covers just about every single genre you can think of, which will have you leaving the theater fully satisfied. I give it a 9.3/10!
