Very disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (18 August 2019)

Basically, I was bored. It is possible to get away without a conventional plot line, but I did not find any of the main characters to be engaging or credible, and there was only one scene in the movie - where Brad Pitt entered a community of hippies - that I felt intrigued about what would happen next. The final scene had some ingenuity, but even then there was a lack of real dramatic tension.
In large parts, the film depended on its amusing take on the absurdities and vanities of Holloywood movie-making, but for me it fell well short of funny. I've always admired Tarantino's daring and original approach to movie-making, but this film seemed to be all style and no substance.
