First 2019 movie for Best Picture nomination

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2019)

This movie is Tarantino's best - an homage to 1960's Hollywood plus his revision of the Manson murders. Leonardo DiCaprio is great as a movie star who is on a downward slide and ends up playing in spaghetti westerns in Italy next an attempt to revive his career. Brad Pitt manages to be cool and sinister at the same time as DiCaprio's stunt double, best friend and major factotum. Plus his character owns the real star f the show - an incredible pit bull named Brandy who saves the day at the end of the movie.
There's so much going on in this movie, that I had to see it twice to catch all the nuances. It will be even better streaming when we can stop the actin, or rewind it to catch quip that is missed. Tarantino shows his true genius as a director with this film.
