Any other director would get 5 or less stars

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2019)

There was a good ending to this movie. That is just about the only good thing i can say about it. But the first 2 hours and 15 minutes are a complete yawn. Sharon Tates story never connected to the rest of the movie. In fact, if you dont know who she was in real life or the story of manson you will not understand at all why she was in the film. There was no real plot to this movie at all. The only moment of suspense is when the manson family arrives at the end to kill people. YOU WILL ONLY SEE MANSON ONCE and only for a few seconds in this movie. The movie is not about him or his story at all but rather about a failing actor and his stunt double. Having said that, there is no plot development because there is no plot so for over 2 hours you will sit wondering what the movie is about or what is supposed to happen. I love QT movies but this was by far his worst. There were no interesting dialogues that we have grown used to from him. The high ratings for this movie are ONLY because he directed it. Any other director and this movie would be hailed as a complete flop.
