Saving the best for "last"?

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2019)

Honestly, I think it would be a shame if this is QT's last film. He's reached a new level of quality where his technical and artistic excellence match his originality. I hope he reconsiders and continues making more films. This film is clearly his best one so far, and I have enjoyed many of his other films.
Having grown up in the era in which the film is set, I was in awe of how flawless all the visuals were as well as all of the cultural cues in dialogue and music. The film captures many nuances of this era so perfectly. The attention to even the smallest details is impressive. Even the inside jokes like all the fictitious spaghetti western posters with people like Telly Savalas were rendered flawlessly. It's hard not to be swept up in the nostalgia of it all.
The script is brilliant with absolutely hilarious scenes and so many hidden jokes. With various artistic montages of movie footage, fictional TV footage, as well as real TV footage, the cinematography and editing is equally brilliant. It doesn't hurt to have amazing actors giving some of their funniest performances ever. Leonardo and Brad are the best duo in decades, and why it took QT to elicit this, we'll never know. Al Pacino and Bruce Dern also provide some hysterical characters.
This is a movie not to be missed, especially if you lived through the 60s and 70s. It has a long running time, but it passes quickly because it is so damn funny.
