VERY BIG, VERY SLOW AND UNSATISFYING

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2019)

I don't care who you are, and I'm a big fun of Tarantino, but this is a disaster. Yes his genius is present in almost every scene, and some sequences are constructed in a way that very few filmmakers can even see, but the story just isn't there, despite the tragic truths upon which the idea is based.
The film is too slow and the only reason I was able to sit through the whole thing was the magnificent acting and the fact that I knew Tarantino was behind it.
No way this material justifies 2 and a half hours of film and at the end of the day, very few will remember it.
Come to think of it, I can't even comprehend why he didn't make the real story of Tate and her death by Manson's followers. Now that's a film I would love to see ... On a positive note he was only beating around the bush, so maybe this will give someone else the idea to really go for it.
