Ultimately I liked it, but that's it.

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2019)

Very low-key for a Tarantino movie. really more of a character study than anything else. Despite the neon, the nostalgia, costumes- overall excellent attention to detail, it's a tad self indulgent in a "memory lane" kind of way. I will say Leo and Brad give maybe their best performances ever. Robbie is pretty but has nothing to do. Only one good scene where she's in a theater, dirty feet on the seat in front of her, watching one of her own Performances with such excitement and delight. Margaret Qualley gives a much better performance as a hippie/Manson girl. You can see the end coming from a mile away. A 6.5 movie.
