Great Character Driven Film

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2019)

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is Tarantino's nostalgic tribute to Hollywood. At its center is the story of an aging actor coming to terms with his declining significance in a evolving industry. The craziness of the era provides the backdrop.
It's a long movie, mostly dialog driven. I knew that going in, but frankly I didn't even notice as that characters were so well defined and the script so sharp that the time flew by. I especially enjoyed Brad Pitts character that was the epitome of the tough guy of the roles that DiCaprios character was known for. The time that they shared the screen was cinema magic; It was at times funny, touching, and violent. Great pacing, fantastic performances, and a engaging story makes this an all time classic. Go see it.
