Jackie Brown
1997 · Quentin Tarantino · 154 min · Crime / Drama / Thriller
Jackie Brown is Tarantino's most patient and human film, trading the shock-value fireworks of his earlier work for something quieter and more affecting. Pam Grier owns every frame she's in, and the film's slow-burn construction rewards viewers willing to let its rhythms take hold. It's not the flashiest entry in the Tarantino catalog, which is exactly why it might be the one that ages best.
