Love this movie

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2019)

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it really is great if you are in the mood to take a trip back to 1969 Hollywood.
The setting is amazing; Tarantino beautifully reconstructed this 1960s Hollywood paradise, while also establishing the disturbing presence of the Manson family cult in the background. Interesting juxtaposition for sure.
The soundtrack is on point, and the leading characters are really fun to watch. Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) is an emotionally unstable alcoholic TV cowboy with anger management issues, who hates hippies and loves margaritas. Meanwhile his best friend Cliff Booth (Pitt) is a wise-cracking, ass-kicking, stunt double with a heart of gold. They make for an awesome duo.
There are also some great performances from supporting actors, such as Margot Robbie, Julia Butters, and Margaret Qualley.
Overall this movie is a charming, offbeat period piece that combines fairy tales with reality, drama with comedy, and even some horror in the mix.
