The fading actor and the stuntman

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2019)

I watched this film yesterday. Kinda I didn't go to the cinemas to watch it. Way too long, for it's genre. I'm not a Tarantino fan, but neither a hater. The film started of quite interesting, loved how spot on the 60s was made into the movie. Felt really real and accurate. But for me it was a little to boring, it lacked something. It was like we were following the stuntman and the actors everyday life, which I usually am all for. But the humor wasn't that great. Pitt and DiCaprio acted great as always. Margot as Tate was okay, good acting but didn't really have that big of a role. I think she fitted the role in some ways, the found a classy young actress to portrait Sharon Tate, but when it comes down to looks and resemblance they don't even come close. Both beautiful, but totally different looks. Which annoyed me quite a bit. I could never see her as Tate. Anyways, the plot of the movie was very mediocre.. the film could easily have been two hours instead of the 45 minutes extra. I was pretty much waiting to see how everything was going to unfold. And yes the last hour is extremely violent and graphic. And a lot of things happened during the end of the film. I just found the focus on the stuntman and the fading actor to be very boring. Just because you put together a Hollywood A list of actors and filmmakers it doesn't necessarily mean the outcome of the movie will be that great. I have some mixed feelings about the movie. I'm not sure what I expected but as I said I liked the beginning, but not quite pleased with all the slow scenes and the phase of it.
To sum it up, not very good but not bad either. Great acting, some funny scenes. But it lacked something.
