People have strong opinions, both good and bad, about films directed by Quentin Tarantino. Even Tarantino himself. This week he declared his 2009 Second World War satire Inglourious Basterds his “masterpiece”, but 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood his “favourite.” And he also expressed some controversial opinions of his earlier work.
But regardless of your own opinion on the filmmaker, though there’s no denying his new releases demand to be seen – if only in order in order to debate whether they rank up there with Pulp Fiction (1994) or way down with The Hateful Eight (2017).
