Quentin Tarantino has never been shy about turning a movie opinion into a small controlled explosion. This is the same filmmaker who has criticized the “Marvelization” of Hollywood, questioned George Clooney’s movie-star status and set off a whole discourse grenade when he called Paul Dano “weak sauce” in There Will Be Blood. That take got enough attention that Yorgos Lanthimos later weighed in, saying people didn’t need to “pile on” the director because Dano’s work speaks for itself. So when he actually praises a new movie, it's somewhat surprising. And I didn't see him loving a recent Ben Affleck streaming movie.
