Double Edged Sword

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2019)

It is a double edged sword as the film will take ten stars out of ten from one viewer and at the same time another one will only give five out of ten. Lets analyze the reason for this.
These incidents actually happened in Hollywood in late 60's . This film has captured those events to tell a beautiful but lost 1960's era of Hollywood. The tensions faced by the actors / support cast members to survive in Hollywood itself and the film industry have been well scripted to Rick Dalton's character. It is an era which Hollywood transit from Studios to Directors. 1970's is the era where directors got the upper hand in production and studio culture became void. Meanwhile Sharon Tate/ Polanski Saga was real and if you google 'Mansion Family', the true story will unfold about the 6 murders which actually happened on that night. When a person enters the movie with this details yeah it was a fantastic masterpiece by Tarantino.
On the contrary, people who do not know this story plus Hollywood history becomes anxious and starts to feel bored. Because nothing is happening except for last 30 mins or so. But they will vote for 5 stars or more for the great design and production to recreate this 1960-70 era. It should not be easy. But the art director and director has make sure no ill-fated misses happen and the film gives 100% authentic Hollywood 60's. They will also admire the acting of DiCaprio, Pitt and Margot. When you have DiCaprio and Brad in one movie you cannot ask for more on acting front.
So fives and tens will make it around 7-8 overall rating. But usually Tarantino has a reputation to attract more 7,8,9 and 10's. In this film he fails to make that Wow feeling for everyone . There is a very little for normal person who just comes out to the theater for this without any background study. I think it is a thumbs down for Tarantino.
