When this movie was announced and Leo was the star, I knew it would be good. Nice to see the CANNES reviews proved it.
I'm a Tarantino mark, so I would have gone to this movie regardless, but after seeing the trailer, I already want to put this movie in my AMC A-List movie selection. This a day -1 for me.

Just saw this pop up in my YouTube feed and couldn’t help but laugh.
During the standing ovation at Cannes following the showing of this film, the cameraman gets like super agro for some reason
Leo was my favorite

I thought the rumor was he is going to end with Kill Bill Vol. 3?
Few days ago he was talking about doing Starwars seriously, but that could just be smoke and mirrors.
He's conveniently left out Death Proof off his list of 10, so he'll make up some other excuse when he's done and wants to make another... he'll claim Jackie Brown isn't his since it came from a book.

Sounds like Grace didn’t like it
I only watched the first few minutes of the review, as I’m avoiding spoilers, but she mentions something about people “not understanding the female perspective” or something along those lines.

If you were to take a shot for each foot fetish scene... you'd be pleasantly buzzed throughout the film.
Saw it in 70MM. I liked it just fine, I'd give it a 4 out of 5. Loved the Spaghetti Western nods. Looks like the think pieces are coming out for the film.

Saw it with my dad and we both loved it. I will say that knowing the history around what they ultimately get into is very important. I probably would have been really bored otherwise.
To anybody on the fence, this is a Quentin Tarantino dialog film. Be warned if that’s not your thing.

What time is it?
Saw it with some friends today. I'm a QT fan so it's hard to give an unbiased view. I loved it, Pitt was great and I love what Tarantino is able to get from DiCaprio performances. I can understand the mixed reception as the pacing is really slow and Tate (Robbie) through-line seems underdeveloped which is disappointing considering the run time. It also lacks the tension found in most of Taratino's work. I guess you could also call it self-indulgent, but his work has always felt like film-buff making films as homages to the films he grew up watching. It might be a little too "inside baseball" for some folks.

Saw it last night. It felt really unfocused - like it struggled to make it to the climax. Maybe I wasnt in the right state of mind for it but at the moment it's my least favorite Tarantino film.
Wife and I went Friday night and we loved it. For as damn long as it was it went by fast. This was like Jackie brown in that it was a character piece and only punctuated by small amounts of action. I mean it had a lot of action but it was portrayed in TV shows and movies within the movie which had an interesting effect since it was a movie inside a movie and not directly effecting the real characters it felt separate because when something happened to the actual characters it felt different and had a punch to it. I don't even know if that makes sense as I'm having issues articulating what I want to say.
But we liked it a lot.
But we liked it a lot.
From what I got out of his interviews when he talks about this is he wants to stop at 10 when it comes to writing, directing, and doing everything himself and pouring so much into one movie. Like he was afraid if he just kept doing this after a while his movies would suffer because of it. Whether it because he changes as he gets older, gets burned out or whatnot, or maybe just doesn't want to repeat himself or run out of ideas. But he said he would still do tv shows, write, maybe do theater so it isn't like he suddenly disappears he just wanted to stop investing so much into one movie at a time and go do different things.
I understand where he is coming from though. Like Stephen Spielberg back in the day was amazing. All of his movies very much had their own look and feel and style and each one a classic, you could tell he put a lot into them and had a unique vision. But after jurrasic park he started slipping some and while he still made some good movies they gradually stopped being "a Spielberg movie". And now it's like he is a very technically proficient director that hits all the right notes but his song is kind of generic and lacks what he once had.
Although he said if he directs the next star trek movie he is writing it might be a loophole in the 10 idea. I'm guessing because it won't really be his own personal movie.
I just hope his number 10 is a horror movie. I've always wanted to see him do a horror movie. He touched on it with death proof some but I'd love to see him do an Italian styled horror movie.

Do you have to be Tarantino fan to enjoy it? I kept an eye on this movie mainly because Leo plays there and revived Bruce Lee is in it, but really I don't recall watching any Tarantino movie at all so I don't really know what to expect.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
I wish they would show Pulp Fiction on the big screen again, they movie is great and rightfully so.

I love Tarantino movies and couldn't wait to see this one. I avoided all media and trailers for it and went in completely blind. I had no idea it was even spoofing the Manson story until I was eating popcorn.
I thought it was potentially the worst of all of Tarantino's movies. It's just so boring. What's the point of following a real story so closely except for doing the most expected Tarantino twist with it?
At one point there's a scene of a fictional movie that Leo's character did where he was killing a bunch of Nazis. And it's like Tarantino was paying homage to his own movies that were paying homage to the movies he loved growing up. It just feels masturbatory. All the scenes with feet were less like his usual gag and more like him referencing something about himself in a comedic attempt. It was just done so many times and in one shot there are like 6 pairs of feet sticking up in the air and it's just like yes Quentin, some of us are aware of the gag but it's just cheapening the movie and even people who "get the joke" aren't laughing.
There were some really good performances, but they weren't backed by an amazing script. Compare the first scene of Inglorious Basterds where the Jew Hunter is questioning the guy who is hiding Jews to any scene from this movie. There's just no substance behind it like I've come to expect from his movies.

Yep. He’s pretty solid in it as well. Great scenes with Leo.

And I've read there is no real plot. That has turned me off.
