Review of True Romance (1993) by Brandy — 10 Jun 2014
A titanically indulgent mess. Tarantino, normally a writing genius, unloads his every juvenile fantasy, his every cheap cinematic crush, onto 'True Romance'. Apart from one excellent (though disconnected) scene between Walken and Hopper, the writing itself is laughable and defies the brilliance of its author at every turn.
Clueless cinematography, a horrific sound-track, hacky acting and unceasingly preposterous story logic do not improve the situation. Not one redeeming feature or endearing scene. This film is like watching Tarantino at confession.
