Tarantino needs to retire

Rating: 3/10 (25 October 2019)

Before I begin, I want to say that Pulp Fiction and True Romance are two of my favorite movies of all time.
But it has been a slow decline in Tarantino films since then, with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood being his official Jump The Shark moment. I know he said he wants to do 10 films before he retires and I hope he can do something for #10 to spare himself from this cringe worthy embarrassment and give himself some sort of Swan Song.
This film is horrible, if it didn't have DiCaprio and Brad Pitt and a Manson story to distract from the monotony, I don't know how anyone could withstand it. I don't even know where to begin as far as what makes it bad, basically everything does. With the exception of DiCaprio, Pitt, Al Pacino and Bruce Dern (and a couple others with tiny parts) the acting is truly horrific. I blame this on the directing. It's truly cringe worthy. Leo is fantastic as always, but what else is expected there. And Pitt is fun because he's Pitt.
There is no plot, the script is terrible, the music is dreadful, it's just horrible. And this is coming from a Tarantino fan. People who are saying this is a 10 (or anything above a 5) either must not get out much or they are devoted and brainwashed Tarantino fans. Or maybe they just hate hippies and love seeing them get socked in the face. I don't know what it is, but this movie is atrocious, an embarrassment to film making, and the title is ironic because I remember when Quentin Tarantino made great films once upon a time in Hollywood.
