It will be a crime if Leo doesn't get another Oscar nom for this.

Margot Robbie seems to have like 3 lines, but her scene in the theatre is so good and expressive that it's almost Oscar worthy by itself.

The whole thing builds with this sense of dread. You expect a brutally violent climax...and you get it, but not the way you would expect it. AT ALL.

Man Tarantino is crazy about feet. In case you didn't notice it before, he doubles down on it here.

My only two gripes:

He does Bruce Lee dirty. Instead of a being the master of his craft that he was, Lee comes off as a joke.

This reminded me that extreme violence against women is in every single one of his movies. Hell Reservoir Dogs has only one woman in it, and she gets shot and kicked out of a car. The women in his films can get shot, strangled, raped, stomped, mutilated, dismembered, overdose and set on fire. It's all good to Tarantino as long as we get a few shots of them toes.

Having said that, this is top shelf Tarantino.
