A wish ...

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2020)

This is a tale. This is a history as it might have turned out. Tarrantino placed events in his world, having grown up in SOCAL, in a fantasy using the world he knew as the backdrop for an alternate history of a tragic murder. While the grim details of that event do not find their way into the film, we see a somewhat innocent Sharon Tate sensing her bright future in the Hollywood culture somehow dodging the trappings of the twisted personalities formed around Charlie Manson, who thankfully has a very minor spotting in the film. The two major roles here carve out a story in Quintenesque style that satisfies especially well in my opinion as the man always does. That comes along near the end and ties it up handily. Having grown up in that world myself, I am always gratified to see the locales Mr. Tarantino uses in these stories that seem to serve him well.
