I think it's his best since Reservoir Dogs, too. I love everything Tarantino's done and I'm very close to thinking IB is his best work.
Shosanna was the reason I went to see IB, based off of the quick clip of her running and sobbing in the trailer (of course, when I was in the hospital in July, I was transfixed by the sight of Fassbender in fancy suits in GQ, so he helped, too).
I love that so many people were basically tricked into seeing IB because of the way it was marketed; it's so human and touching with this resilient, damaged woman at the heart of it. Mélanie considers Shosanna to essentially be the walking dead, which is why she is so understandably guarded; therefore, the scenes where she's showing vulnerability are so powerful. And the bar scene is one of my favorite parts of the film, aside from those involving Shosanna and Fredrick.
Christoph is excellent as Landa! I started to feel bad for him when he panics at the end in the forest and I had to stop myself and remember how vile he really was. He and Mélanie deserve many awards for IB, as does Quentin.
