Review - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
For the first time ever I'm not giving a score on a movie. Controversial as it is!!
This film will divide viewers. The first 2 hours are devoted to late 60s cinema and the final 20-30 mins is classic Tarantino where he twists you then turns your world upside down. Unfortunately I can't divulge how he does this as it will spoil it for you!!
DiCaprio puts on an absolute acting masterclass as an ageing actor struggling with becoming irrelevant in a changing movie industry. Brad Pitt plays his stunt double and overall best buddy. Although he plays second fiddle he is still great.
The film bends around the Manson Family Murders and Margot Robbie is majestic as Sharon Tate.
Quite a few laughs plus a great scene with Bruce Lee which was really enjoyable.
As always plenty of dialogue but not as much as you might expect.
In terms of a review I found it a little slow early but with some great effects injecting the actors into old 60s movies such as The Great Escape.
The last act you will either love or hate. It's full of action, over the top and generally awesome. However, I'm not a fan of it! The movie needed the ending as it occurred otherwise the rest of the film served no purpose. Cryptic, I know but that's all I can say for now.
Only you can decide whether to go to see this, at this stage I'm not willing to commit to a rating as I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Overall, high quality production and great acting performances.
