Nice docudrama of LA in 60s but story lacking

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2019)

I like most QT films but this one story wise is really lacking esp for anyone with no knowledge of the true life characters and it dwells excessively on western films in Hollywood which might not appeal to general global public. It's a bit of a surprise to see such a tame non comical story from QT but of course the ending is similar to IBastards so no surprise there. The acting as always was rock solid by everyone and his directing is superb except endless amounts of nostalgia details. Probably total boredom for many not from this era yet kudos for the docu style as you really feel you're back in 1969. At one point 2 hours into it we thought maybe it could be renamed Once upon a day in down n out Western Hollywood. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination yet a nice fair well to Hollywood if QT does retire. Sure hope he ends with this rather than Kill Bill 3.
Be prepared for a long long film with not much storyline to follow except the ending is comical QT. And Brad/Leo are sensational.
A solid 7
