Lake Tahoe, 1969. Seven strangers, each one with a secret to bury, meet at El Royale, a decadent motel with a dark past. In the course of a fateful night, everyone will have one last shot at redemption.
My review · Reviewed 12/29/2018
I can't remember the last time that a film was a consistent slow burn in the way this film is. The film very much has a Tarantino-esque feel to it - I kept flashing back to The Hateful Eight as the movie went on. I adored the first half of that film and generally disliked where the film ended up. This film did not change direction like that film did and I feel that it is superior to that film.
