Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood - Brief Thoughts.

Quentin Tarantino is one of our most idiosyncratic directors, a master of conversation and snappy writing, coupled by his slow-burn suspense that's been a staple of his movies, from Reservoir Dogs to The Hateful Eight. Tarantino's talent has always been high, owed perhaps in no small part to his love of classic cinema, even in its most nitty-gritty. He's an unashamed lover of film and its classic Hollywood hallmarks, drawing from the auteur-driven golden age of the late 60's and 70's. And in his ninth film, we lay witness to his very own love-letter to that age, a story told Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.
