Hanging out in Hollywood

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2019)

This movie is very similar to Linklater's Slacker in the sense where it feels like a hangout movie. Where the viewer is simply hanging out with the characters at a certain point of time in their lives. The movie is a lot about the journey, and less about the end.
It is also a loveletter to Hollywood from Tarantino. A somewhat nostalgia trip. Probably his most nostalgic and indulgent film, characteristic of veteran and aging auteurs. It is an ode to his art, his medium, his inspirations and childhood dreams. In this aspect it very similar to Radio Days by Woody Allen.
This movie requires a certain class of viewer to appreciate it. It most definitely will not be appreciated by all.
