Once upon a time in Hollywood - The golden age of Hollywood, struggling to cling to recognition - essentially what you might expect from a Tarantino movie

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2019)

Bloody gory violent drama, very loosely based on some actual events.
Revolves around two men (in particular) and their friendship. Stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton, a decaying actor, and Brad Pitt, as his quietly confident stunt double, driver, and general gofer Cliff Booth.
The chemistry between these lead actors and their dark witty banter is a highlight. Set in 1969, Los Angeles. The way they've created the period scenery is an enormous practical achievement.
The movie highlights the golden age of Hollywood, the film makers and the elite acting stars, either struggling to cling to recognition or as new rising stars.
Very stylishly shot with extravagant scenes and some moments of brilliance.
The ending (especially the last 20mins) is very violent, and exactly what you might expect from a Tarantino film. Recommended.
