2 movies in 1

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2019)

First thing I haaate long movies. Over 2 hours and I lose interest so it was trepidation that I approached this. However moments in and I knew I was going to love it. A love letter to tv and cinema. DiCaprio ( I better disclose that I think he's best living actor) as a TV star and Brad Pitt as his stunt man. The soundtrack is awesome and the attention to detail on costumes and the sets incredible. Two separate stories emerge though plot is slim. DiCaprio's fading career and Pitt's interaction with a group of hippies who are encamped on an old film lot. There's a dog in this who's the best in film since Lassie ðŸ˜œ. There are lots of real life characters played by actors in this the main one Sharon Tate played nicely by Margot Robbie who's unfortunately not given a lot to do. Loads of fantastic cameos too. So far so good and so un Tarantino but then a couple of hours in you do remember it's a Tarantino film. Cartoon violence that seems totally separate to what went before. Like two totally different movies!!! ( and I loved both) All performances top notch. Hope you enjoy it and I'm off to listen to the soundtrack now!
