One of the best of 2019... near perfect

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2019)

Here's my review for the 9th film by Quentin Tarantino, "Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood". Spoilers ahead:
This movie was everything I wanted, and more. I expected it to be your typical Tarantino, and at times it was, but it just felt so different. Leonardo DiCaprio (Rick Dalton) and Brad Pitt (Cliff Booth) are both insanely good in this movie, they have great chemistry, and are incredibly hilarious. I liked the cameo from Bruce Lee a lot, I thought it was very funny, although I do feel it disrespected the legend a little bit. Margot Robbie is pretty good as Sharon Tate, but I feel she was a bit underutilized. The second act does feel a bit slow, and there is one scene in that act, and for me it was the only part that really dragged (just a bit though). But I loved the aspects that had to do with the Manson Family, especially the final scene which was amazing. It seamlessly combined action and comedy, and I loved every second of it. This movie was amazingly written, Tarantino did a fantastic job. The shots in this movie (also done by Tarantino) were fantastic, they were beautifully helmed. The movie, much like many other Tarantino films, feels very self-indulgent, as he doesn't make a movie for the people, he makes them for himself, and that's why he is one of my favorite directors working today. This movie doesn't have a true narrative, and that brings up a topic that I've been wanting to talk about for some time now.
People nowadays are so accustomed to movies having big blockbuster stories, and they think something big has to be happening every second of every minute, and that is why I love Tarantino. His movies always come out in the midst of big blockbusters, and huge Oscar contenders, and he kind of gets overshadowed a lot. He creates movies that are far more complex, and I very much welcomed this film.
In conclusion, this movie was amazing, and it'll be a movie that I watch for years to come.
Conclusion:
Would I Recommend?: This movie is violent, and won't be for everybody, but for people who want an action movie that they can also laugh with, this is a must watch.
