Be prepped for being confused

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2019)

I know nothing about 60's Hollywood, so I can imagine how few references I got and how less I understood about the movie. For me subjectively it was definitely refreshing, creative, fun, great acting and cinematography, but I was really confused. The first two hours were a composition of scenes I often struggled to understand. But when you can't appreciate the history in a scene, or the reference (f.e. being in the movies watching Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) being in the movies watching Sharon Tate, and laughing for the actual joke the actual Sharon Tate did is f.e. a beautiful scene, but I don't know Sharon Tate at all, and I didn't get the layers immediately. So I just had a scene where Margot Robbie sat in the movies. Therefore I was a bit bored. lol.
I think it definitely is a movie which you should give some time. The first impression may be a bit disappointing. But it is fun to sit through, and the ending is also some (very funny) action for the more clueless. However.
