About as impressive a film as I've ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2019)

Easily the best film I've seen this year. The first three quarters or so are hard to believe. What it must have taken to attain this level of artistry! Tarantino's eye and taste are as good as it gets. This is the last I guy I want to see retire. I'm sure there are old time studio heads turning over in their graves in sheer envy.
Both DiCaprio and Pitt turn in wonderful performances, DiCaprio more a character part than Pitt's but both instill every frame with star power. It's hard to walk out of the theater and not feel the uplifting influence of Brad Pitt. And then there's Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate who's like a cool breeze on a hot day, a physical relief to watch.
The last quarter, Tarantino makes a personal statement about the period and some of the atrocities it saw. He's been criticized for meddling with history but there's something utterly understandable and laudable about the choices he's made. I wouldn't change a thing. I'd be surprised if this film didn't win every award it comes up for.
