Much more slow paced and different Tarantino flick

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2019)

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a masterpiece grade movie but it might not be for everyone. If you've seen most of Tarantino's work then you'll be able to recognise his signature writing and cinematography which still hold up as some of the best in the industry, however the pacing of this film is where it may loose some more impatient audience members. It is a far more story focused flick and there really is not any action until the end but that action is hilarious and very much worth the wait, and that wait makes it all the more satisfying, I won't spoil it because you should see for yourself. The acting was as expected an absolute knockout and even exceeded my expectations at points, Tarantino really brings out the best in Leonardo DiCaprio and pretty much everyone else in the cast. Brad Pitt stood out the most to me and he delivered some of the most memorable lines in the film (once again I won't spoil what they are but those who have seen the movie know what i'm talking about and if you haven't seen it you will easily be able to recognise them if you do watch it.) The attention to detail is brilliant and works very well with this movies excellent world building moments. The late 60's setting is very vivid and believable, if you are going to see this movie I would also advise to take some time to study the Manson family and the Sharon Tate murders, trust me, it will vastly improve your experience with the already brilliant ending. overall this film is a masterpiece and I highly recommend you see it so long as you're OK with its more mature pace and long run time.
