Tarantino's First Comedy?

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2019)

1st, this was my first Alamo Drafthouse experience, opening night, which may skew my opinion because that was such a great viewing with the opening 30min vignette they added prior to showtime.
This movie was really excellent. Like many of Tarantino's recent films, nothing happens until something happens at the very end, but like Seinfeld there is brilliance and masterful scripting during the meandering first 9/10ths of the film.
I didn't think Brad Pitt could look cooler, but Tarantino made him the god that even heteros like me find ourselves attracted to like a cult leader or David Bowie.
DiCaprio gives a brilliant performance as well as the washed up western star.
The score may be one of the best in Tarantino's career which says a ton.
The final tenth of the film is a feast of classic stunt gags pushed to the nth degree.
This is a must see film. I wouldn't say it is Tarantino's best, but his worst (not sure which that one is... Kill Bill vol 2... maybe?) Is still better than most other movies. This is a step down from The Hateful 8 for me, but still thoroughly enjoying. I'll be watching it again without doubt.
