Once Upon A Review Of Hollywood

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2020)

The movie does take its sweet time for about 2 hours and 15 minutes. And then suddenly I found myself not wanting it to end. Luckily, the movie still had about 25 minutes left. I dont mind slow paced films or character studies- this film is both. During the movie there are several fictional film scenes that give a sense of the Hollywood era gone by. They contain imagery that is dated to perfection. My only criticism is that a few of these are a bit too long. I found myself wanting to zone out. Leonardo delivers a superb performance but it's Brad Pitt who steals the show. He's as charming as ever. I watched this movie after the hype and anti-hype...reading most of the reviews....even the ones that contained the spoilers. The good news is that the film is so long that I completely forgot about the spoilers. Watch it for yourself. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Reviews are only opinions. Critics are only people. But this is not just another movie. Good or bad, the film is unique, and that makes it worth seeing.
