A homage too late 1960s Los Angeles and Hollywood for 3/4 of the movie

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2020)

The first 3/4 of this movie was basically a retrospective and a homage to 1969 and late 60s Hollywood in Los Angeles. It did drag, but there were so many Easter eggs in there that people who actually lived through that era recognized all of it.
The story wandered and it did come off as boring during this.. The weaving in and of the fictionalized occurrences using the characters from the movie with the Manson family was brilliant at the end, which essentially saves the movie from being pointless. The performances in the movie were actually very good. The actors did what they could with the "script"...
There were great visuals and it certainly had the feel of that era in Los Angeles. The quirky change with where the Manson family goes was interesting and left the audience with a what if wonderment....
