Lacks continuity

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2019)

Movie is all over the place the first 2 hours. Just a bunch of different scenes which have little or no connection to each other. Decaprio's character is shown acting in numerous fictitious movies and the scenes are way too long. The scene when he's in his actors trailer lamenting over his career problems is painful to watch and again way too long. The director put text labels under the names of actors like "Steve McQueen" while they're at a playboy mansion party for some reason. I felt this to be strange but accepted it thinking it must be very important to the plot line to know who these people are. It wasn't as they had no bearing on anything. I guess Tarantino just wanted us to know that top actors of the era were attending this party??? Oh and he also may have revealed a foot fetish as the sight of dirty bare feet are everywhere to be seen, and in close up detail. "Sharon Tate" is a central character- too bad she has no significance to the ending; which I won't spoil. Overall, the acting was decent but the story was severely lacking in many ways. The things that happen have no meaning and are often implausible. In my opinion the movie's only redeeming feature is the nostalgia, which was done in pretty meticulous detail. I imagine a good part of the 90 mil budget was spent on this factor. In summary, I would definitely not recommend paying to see this film. And only if you really appreciate the cars and nostalgia of the era should you spend nearly three hours of your time on this high priced star studded disappointment!
