Tarantino Says He Can’t Stand Owen Wilson Yet Ranks Midnight in Paris in His 21st-Century Top 10

The remarks came on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast, which also featured his critique of Woody Allen’s filmmaking approach.

Overview

  • Tarantino said he "really can't stand" Owen Wilson even as he named the actor's 2011 film Midnight in Paris his 10th favorite of the century.
  • He recounted softening on Wilson over multiple viewings, moving from initial dislike to closely watching the performance.
  • He criticized Woody Allen’s process as filming "first drafts" but said Midnight in Paris appeared more polished and "fully baked."
  • During the same podcast, he called Paul Dano’s There Will Be Blood performance "weak sauce" and said he doesn’t care for Dano or Matthew Lillard.
  • Entertainment outlets reporting the appearance said representatives for Wilson have not responded to requests for comment.
