Special mention for Christoph Waltz who is amazing
Best Tarantino film in a while
This was one of the better Tarantino films after a bit of lull - especially following Inglorious Basterds. The story is relevant to current society in the US, albeit a slightly extreme version. It is as usual, very violent. But the story of slavery in America is important and it was only time that QT made a film about this time in history.

Creative and Realistically Horrific
So many people can't get past the issue of race which is a key element in this movie. But looking at the bigger picture...this could be a reality for ANYONE regardless of race or religion. Forget traditional slavery. That's terrifying in it's own way. But this movie proposes a realistic idea of society that will keep you up at night to avoid bigger nightmares that Freddy, Jason, or Michael ever caused.

It is a retelling of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves in Marjana's POV. and stays mostly with the original source material. This is a good kid's book for ages 9 and up. It does talk about slavery as both Marjana and her brother are slaves of Ali Baba's brother, and the Islam religion so it is slightly correct in its set/historic time period. It doesn't get in your face religious just lets you know it's there and helps set the cultural tone.
