Great performance by DiCaprio

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2019)

I started off with 7 and added a 8th star for originality. "Once upon a time in Hollywood" is unique like most of Tarantino's work. O-Hollywood seems to lack dramatic direction and theme. Several intertwined storylines merge with no true justification of merging historic events into the finale. However, the movie truly shines in each individual scene- you are almost watching several short films as the characters traverse the entire film. The transition to each of these scene blocks is so seamless that you are already I the middle of it before you know that it happened 5 minutes ago. Leo DiCaprio will surely be nominated for one of the best performances put to film.
