Kind of lame and with an agenda
2 July 2023
The only purpose of this documentary seems to get Tarantino a stamp of approval from a politically correct jury. He's such a nice guy, look at the big roles he gave to women! They're all strong and independent, etc... He made movies against slavery and Nazis! He rejected Weinstein... especially that...So this documentary serves the purpose to clean Tarantino's past...he associated with the "devil" but he can be forgiven because he repented.

Much as I liked his first two movies, I think it's a shame that he seems to have peaked with Pulp Fiction, and all his other movies did not fulfill the - maybe too high - expectations of the beginning. His dialogues used to be witty and quirky, but lately, his characters seem just to suffer from verbal diarrhea. I just could not face the idea of watching The Hateful Eight, because I knew the characters were stuck somewhere and free to blabber for three hours.

Yet some of the actors interviewed, even if they admit the dialogues go nowhere, say they're kind of "atmospheric". There was praise even for the disaster that Roadhouse was. Documentaries that glorify any enterprise, no matter what, are at best insincere, at worst hypocritical.

One does not get any real insight or information, apart from endless praise of QT - which I still consider a great director, but very flawed - and finally, the animated sequences that fill some of the time are really awful.
