Definitely not perfect, but a treat for film lovers

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2020)

Polarizing movies are some of my favorites to watch. This most recent Tarantino piece is no exception.
The flaws in this movie are the same flaws QT always has-but I'd argue the same for his strengths, which this film also has in spades. I would argue this is his best work in world building, and some of the best acting performances he's brought out on camera. For a nearly three and a half hour film, there were only a few moments where I could feel it (unlike the Hateful Eight, which had the opposite effect).
This movie's first priority is obviously to pay homage to the era it portrays, but any complaints about a lack of plot seem unfounded to me. There was plenty of plot, enough to give the movie some direction, and left plenty of room for ample character development and really fun references to both real events and fictional.
Far from a perfect film, but a fun few hours for those of us who love movies and love Tarantino's portfolio.
