Eh?

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2019)

Not sure where all the positive reviews are coming from? It's no Pulp Fiction by any stretch of the imagination - in fact is unlike any previous Tarantino film. It's a stand-alone disconnected, boring in lots of places and seemingly pointless movie. In one scene we have to watch brad Pitt drive all the way back to his house...a full 5 minutes of watching someone drive. Then there are numerous other scenes that do the same and you're sat thinking what's the point of these scenes. Then there's additional meaningless oddness in Margot Robbie watching the real Sharon Tate star in her own film in the cinema in the film. In fact what was the point in Margot Robbie even in this film? It leads to nowhere. You see Manson in about a 5 second part and that's it. There are about 3 worthwhile scenes in the film but they are wildly separated and the end scene whilst funny is ludicrous and not related to real life. I think Tarantino lost the plot here. Genuinely disappointed as Tarantino is usually superb.
