Unfortunately my expectations were subverted

Rating: 4/10 (21 August 2019)

Tarantino always claimed he sees himself as a conductor. The filmmaking tools are his orchestra and we are his audience. He wants to be able to tell us what to feel and when to feel it.
Well, what I felt for the most time here was - annoyance (and boredom).
We often see clips of rick's movies, how he makes those movies and how he struggles with it (at that part my beer was empty and I went to get another one). There was nothing unexpected in the first half of the movie, just what the characters do in their daily lives.
That was for the most part boring.
My expectations for the ending were a lot different. That is why while watching the movie I enjoyed the Sharon Tate sequences. However after seeing the ending I have to agree that she was useless in this movie.
What I liked:
-Mirabella
-cliff driving (haha)
-cliff and his dog

cliff's behavior at the end

-most scenes with the Manson family
At the same time the Manson family where sometimes the ones who annoyed me. Especially one of them in the end (you'll see).
I expected more from the ending because of all the little hints in the movie that something bad ist going to happen. This film has some pacing issues.
Of course the acting was great but that unfortunately does not help the other two crucial parts of the orchestra, the writing and the editing.
