About

You’ll likely enjoy this stylish Hollywood daydream if you love character-focused Tarantino tales and 1960s atmosphere; Not for you if you want a tightly plotted, fast-paced story like Django Unchained or Grindhouse.

Pros: period atmosphere; standout performances; standout humor | Cons: slow early pacing; meandering structure; runtime feels long
