Beautiful recreation of a timeless era - but the movie may not be for everyone

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2019)

This movie has to be, at the very least, appreciated by the work that goes into recreating the Hollywood prime era and the 60s in L.A.
In a time where everything is done via CGI, to be able to pull off a transformation like this on such iconic streets as Hollywood Boulevard... it is really remarkable.
The story that then ensues in that context about a downward-spiralling actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his stunt double Rick Booth (Pitt) is not exactly gripping, I can get that, but it was incredibly entertaining for me to watch.
The reason I only give it 8/10 is because I can see how, for someone who has never heard about Charles Manson for example, the story may be just as mundane any other script. Which can perhaps throw some people off (in spite of the brilliant acting).
That and perhaps the long-run time.
However, even you don't appreciate stories about the mundane life of two actors, than it is still very much worth to stick around for the classic Tarantino climax that takes place in the last half hour or so of the movie.
