May be lost on anyone under 40

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2019)

I have never left a review before now. I don't identify as a Tarantino fan, although I have enjoyed some of his films. I have been looking forward to this film and I was not disappointed!
I was 14 years old in 1969 and I remember the events of August 1969 like it was yesterday. For me, this film took me back to re-experience the music, the actors, the movies and the tv shows of 1969.
Great performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt! Some reviewers have said that they saw little depth to the characters but I disagree; we were different back then and you can't view these characters through modern eyes. You need to have a sense of how we have changed as a society over the past 50 years.
There are so many wonderful cameos in this film. As I looked over the cast, I realized that I need to watch this film again to catch some that I missed.
Because I am fairly well read on the Manson Family, I found myself holding my breath at points in anticipation of disaster, awaiting tragedy.
At 2 hours 39 minutes this is a long film but the time flew for me as I was awash in memories of that time. Give this film a try!
