A lot of screen time and not enough story

Rating: 6/10 (17 April 2020)

I read multiple reviews saying the movie is boring. I didn't find it boring at all. It kept me entertained. The pace was slow - something I am used to with episode content where characters have time to develop. To me this movie felt like a long episode of a show, something half way season 2.
The cinematography is amazing, the acting was excellent.
Margot Robbie started to annoy me; the entire movie she is smiling and dancing and says like 20 words in total. She's like a princess living in a dream world and I guess it was Tarantino's thing to show what we all wanted to happen to her, hence "once upon a time in Hollywood". I was just longing for character development, and not just with her.
The criticism is that I want to see episode 3, 4, 5, etc.
Not a bad movie. Tarantino pissed me off with the Hateful Eight - a simple and lazy story disguised as something complex, 90% boring dialogue and some violence. This one I enjoyed much, much more. It's just not something I'll remember for long.
That said, I share the same love for Hollywood/LA, but from my personal (contemporary) experience, and I could feel his love for an era and connect me, even though I was never there myself at the time.
