Are you OK? Is everyone OK? Boring disappointment with a shocking ending!

Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2019)

This year so far I believed the two main contenders for Best Picture during the Oscars would be 'Once Upon a Time ...in Hollywood' and 'Ford v Ferrari'. Well, I was wrong and even think that 'Avengers: Endgame' has bigger chance of winning the award than this Hollywood drama/'comedy'. I mean, there was no comedy in it, the first two hours didn't have any content at all...
I watched 'Pulp Fiction' two days ago and my expectations for this one were really high, because Quentin Tarantino usually delivers top movies. I was really hoping to see a masterpiece, but I left the theatre with frustration and anger for the wasted time. I saw Leonardo DiCaprio's character whining for 2 hours, Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate didn't have any contribution to the plot, her main scenes were part of the brilliant trailer that made me watch this movie. I feel they were both wasted in this one - Margot Robbie is an incredible actress and might be the best in Hollywood right now, while Leo DiCaprio is a top performer for more than 20 years. I didn't enjoy their characters as much as I enjoyed Vince Vega or Butch Coolidge.
The character that I found quite interesting was actually Cliff Booth and Brad Pitt might be the only person in this movie with an Oscar worthy performance. His acting was extremely good in this one and I think his three main scenes were fascinating: the one against Bruce Lee, the one in Spanh Ranch and the ending one which I would also describe as shocking.
To sum up, 'Once Upon a Time ...in Hollywood' is not a masterpiece, but its musical score and some single acting performances saved its rating. When you hear 'Are you OK?'/ 'Is everyone OK? more than 3 times at the end of the movie, then you will be frustrated and it's not funny...
