I turned it off after an hour. The story(s) is just bad. I did not care about anybody. The editing was poor
Brad Pits acting in this movie is subpar.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The actors really carried the show this time. Amazing dialog as expected. Great performances. It doesn't stand on its own. If you are so in love with hollywood that you ever bothered to read about the horrible acts of the Manson 'family' then its probably a good movie; otherwise, this movie wasn't made for you and just wont make sense. You will wonder things like, why did they waste Margot Robbie on a character whose story doesn't exist in the movie. All the plot of a short film, in a pretentiously long double length movie. Tarantino has jumped the shark.

To be clear, all the actors do an amazing job and the characters are rich and dialoge is amazing. The movie just doesn't stand on its own and make sense on its own. Its an amazing performance, but a bad movie.… Expand

Quel prodige ce Tarantino ! remplir 2h40 avec du vide ! mais comment fait-il ? il doit y avoir au moins de l'air là-dedans ou quelques flatulences, le résultat des quelques "idées" de "scénario" (non ?!...) du génial génie génialissimeQuel prodige ce Tarantino ! remplir 2h40 avec du vide ! mais comment fait-il ? il doit y avoir au moins de l'air là-dedans ou quelques flatulences, le résultat des quelques "idées" de "scénario" (non ?!...) du génial génie génialissime Tarantino !... mais non, comme d'habitude, Tarantino reste fidèle à lui-même et fait blablater ses acteurs à n'en plus finir, meuble comme un vendeur Ikea pendant les soldes et passe de la musique ringarde (de merde) pour faire passer.

Il ne se passe donc rien pendant à peu près deux heures trente... sauf cette séquence d'ultra-violence tout-à-coup qui arrive comme un cheveu sur la soupe parce qu'il faut bien ce genre de violence complaisante et putassière afin de plaire à son public adolescent et adulescent : le minimum syndical en somme !

Du coup, ça m'a réveillé parce que je piquais justement un somme en attendant qu'il se passe quelque chose, et même que je lui ai dit juste avant : "Quentin, si jamais il arrivât qu'il se passât un truc dans ton dernier somnifère, tu m'envois un télégramme !".

Cela dit, je suis d'accord avec lui sur au moins une chose : les hippies ! il faut leur décalquer la gueule à ces camés, il faut les cramer ces tarés, il faut tous les buter ! crève-les, fais-en du hachis parmentier ! j'irai donc jusqu'à 1. Finalement.… Expand

Watch at your peril. Worst movie I have ever seen. A terrible plot that takes forever to unfold and ends like a B-movie that I have to watch in full-color 4k.

Can't really figure out this crap filled with uninteresting dialogues and characters. Tarantino is nothing but an overindulgent pothead who should stop making movies.

And I consider this to be one hell of a bad movie. Not that it's unwatchable. It's just a loooong movie trailer by somebody, who is obsessed with regressive film references. None of the characters in the movie is relatable. Nobody has a motive for doing anything. The whole thing just slurs on and on and on and on. And if you like Brad Pitt, Leonardo diCaprio or Margot Robie, well, maybe then you would have accepted a five hours version.

My favorite Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown, because it had a plot, warm characters, humor and a perfect resolution in the end. "Once upon..." has none of that. It's brilliantly shot and visually works as a Hollywood timepiece. But apart from that, it is just dull.… Expand

If you have enough free time on your hands then yes... you can watch this movie, but even then it wont be time well spent. Was the acting great?... yes it was, all the actors performed great with he stuff they have been given.

Will the movie plot dazzle you?... no in fact the absence of any meaningful plot is this movies greatest setback so much that I give it a 3, I gave up in the middle of the movie since the movie was slowly moving to what ends up being the shortest and blandest ending I have ever seen on screen, and the action is nothing special.
There is no real sense of danger in this movie except in one moment but that too ends quickly. You will not watch this movie twice that is all I can say for the end.… Expand

I love Tarantino, unfortunately, this film is absurd and absolutely poetically dump in its execution. Nothing occurs until the last 15 minutes and even that is just a shock stop to provide no emotional weight or payoff just a frustrating lookI love Tarantino, unfortunately, this film is absurd and absolutely poetically dump in its execution. Nothing occurs until the last 15 minutes and even that is just a shock stop to provide no emotional weight or payoff just a frustrating look into how this incredible cast got wasted in a boring script. It's a slog and every critic is brainwashed into thinking that everything this man does must be incredible or thrilling. No it's not. This is an example of boring film making where the director's ego overplays the substance of the film, entertainment and exaggeration given for the simple look of slick and cool. It doesn't pay off and Brad Pitt's character and Leo's passion is wasted in Sharon Tate spin off story. This is disgusting and it was a complete waste of energy. It's a shame to see professional critics give into the weight of Tarantino and not see that this film is pathetic.… Expand

Maybe Tarantino is an overrated hack idk. He loves to parade the fact that he went to film school but I'm convinced he just failed upwards with Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. The movies are well directed but writing is not his strong suit. HeMaybe Tarantino is an overrated hack idk.
