Many viewers have criticized the film for lacking a solid plot and substance. If a stuntman-madman chasing and killing voluptuous women is not enough of a story for you, then perhaps refrain from watching this one. But if style and quirky dialogue about nothing is something that you enjoy for some reason, nobody does it half as well as Tarantino and Death Proof showcases his love for edginess brilliantly. The pace has let some audiences down, but personally I find the film’s aesthetics extremely refreshing, attractive and so winning that any faster pacing would have taken away from the chance to really notice every little thing appearing — admittedly, not happening — on screen, which would have been a real bummer. — Angeliki Coconi
