Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2019)

What an absolute blast and wild ride this film is. Everything about it screams joy and having fun at the movie theater. The cast is extraordinary, my god. Jackson, Travolta, Thurman, Rhames, Willis, Keitel, Stoltz, Arquette, Walken, Roth, Plummer, de Medeiros ... that's 12 fantastic actors playing 12 fantastic characters. If you think about it, each of them is given a moment to absolutely shine, and they literally all come through. The script is brilliant, with dialogue that crackles between philosophy, wry observations, and street talk that is as hilarious as it is earthy. There are so many great scenes, and you can just feel Tarantino reveling in the film's campiness, its soundtrack, and its (many) surprise moments. I also love how he told the story out of order, in a very creative way. Brilliant.
