It may not be Quentin Tarantino's greatest film that he made, but it's still one of his best alongside with his previous works.

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2019)

Quentin Tarantino always has been a very fascinating director / writer for me, who separates himself from other filmmakers and makes films that are not only fun to watch, but also very interesting and amazingly written. When i think of screenwriters, who write dialogue that is very intriguing to hear - Aaron Sorkin and Quentin Tarantino always comes to my mind and both stand out the most for me, but that doesn't mean that there are not other writers that haven't written great scripts with great dialogue: like Stanley Kubrick, Christopher Nolan, Charlie Kaufman, Martin Scorsese and many more, which all of them are my favorite directors / writers of all time. Now that Tarantino released his 9th film called Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in the cinema and having the chance of seeing it now, i'm happy to say that he didn't disappoint me at all.
Just like in every film by Tarantino - the acting is once again fantastic. Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt give the best performances of the year, but i'm not so sure if it's their best that they've ever given, but either way both of them are great in the film and prove that they are the best actors that we have today. They give lives to the characters that they play and i was so invested throughout the story, because of them. It's very sad that we don't see them together all that much, since they have their own adventures, but when they are not separated - it's great and they both have a great chemistry. Even the actors (like Al Pacino), who have small roles in the film were very memorable.
Tarantino perfectly captures the 60s not only with the music, but with the production design as well. The way L.A. looks is very good with the smallest attention to detail that is full of pop culture references, movie posters and even showing scenes of old films of that decade; the editing works perfectly; the sound is great throughout the entire film; the cinematography is very well done; it is very dialogue driven, but it's still very interesting to hear and doesn't loose it's audience (but it does that in some occasions) and has a very simple story, but the execution is what makes it great.
Of course, the film isn't perfect and there were some moments that it did lost me completely. The characters of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, who are supposed to be very important are unfortunately the weakest characters in the entire film. The actor, who plays Polanski is good, but his character doesn't appear all that much. The one that suffers the most in my opinion is Margot Robbie, who give a very OK performance, but her character is the one that stand out as the most problematic. Her dialogue was very minimal and i found it very average throughout her scenes and feeling that she was very miscast in the film. Her character did nothing in the story, she didn't felt all that important and when the story focuses on her, it's very uninteresting and the pacing suffers because of that.
Overall this is for now the best film of 2019. It may not be Quentin Tarantino's greatest film that he made, but it's still one of his best alongside with his previous works.
