Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2020)

This is the best movie I have seen in years. In fact I think it is Quentin Tarantino's best movie since Pulp Fiction. The setting is great. Hollywood in the 1960s. The writing is great. You get the classic dialogue you might expect from a Tarantino movie, but, it is more understated and mature. There are not as many classic quotes like in Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, but, this movie doesn't need it. I loved the soundtrack. There was a lot of great music around that time and they made some great choices. The soothing hippie music contrasts nicely with the violence and danger. The acting is great with an all star cast. Leonardo Dicaprio is terrific as usual. He plays an older actor trying to come to terms with the fact that his career is on the decline. A real prima donna that you can't help but love. Brad Pitt plays his stuntman. He is the coolest character in the film. The two leads have great chemistry and balance each other out very well. Margot Robbie plays Sharon Tate. She is hypnotically beautiful. All she has to do is smile and you can't stop looking at her. She does not have the biggest role, but, what she brings is an alluring presence. Tarantino has created a wonderful world. You really want to go there and experience it. This film really is a celebration of Hollywood at it's very best. If you are a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies, then you will regret missing this classic.
