A Hollywood Love Declaration

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2020)

Screenplay 9/10
Typical Tarantino dialogues in this movie as expected. It makes you laugh and wonder how many references he did in the movie. The ending also is very well written with an unexpected and an Ah-moment so you get the point of the movie and why it is such slow paced.
Direction 10/10
Tarantino outdoes himself with this movie. There are so many sets in the background when Rick and Cliff are driving down the streets which are only seen one or two frames but are having so much work in it. Also the camera work is very good in the movie. You simply feel like being 50 years back in time with Tarantinos Love Declaration to Hollywood.
Acting 9/10
It is the year of Brad Pitt. With ,,Ad Astra'' and ,,Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood'' he is playing his character very well. I've never seen such a cool guy like Cliff Booth is. In the last scene he is simply hilarious good. Leonardo DiCaprio had the hardest job in portraying an actor who is portraying other roles. And he masters it perfectly. From anger to mourning. From happiness to uncertainty. Margot Robbie is simply ok. She is portraying a good Sharon Tate but does not do anything special I remember after the movie.
Soundtrack 8/10 The soundtrack is Tarantino-like unoriginal songs and soundtracks. But exactly that is why the viewer feels back in time. I have heard those songs a month all day long and I'm still not tired of them. I'm just getting in a great mood thinking of the movie and its soundtrack!
