But it’s truly Brad Pitt’s film. I mean, he should just sign over his movie check to the director for making him look this good. Those lines, those action sequences, the dog? Amazing. Don’t want to spoil anything – just see this one. It delivers.… Expand

It's a beautiful, long love letter to a very particular place and time. If you know the history, get the references, and especially if you remember them personally it's very nice. If you don't, it's a long, somewhat confusing ramble with beautiful shots and good acting and way too many shots of feet. I would say that Inglorious Basterds and Django were much more compelling films. But, if you're a QT fan and/or remember 1969, it shouldn't be missed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tarentino masterfully takes back the 60s and defeats the Manson family by offering an alternate ending to that tragic night. It's a tour de triomphe both psychologically and symbolically. IMO, Tarentino's greatest work, it approaches epic proportions like great classic literature. Look for the plethora of references and allusions, the fantastic attention to detail (even the car radios are playing KHJ Los Angeles with the Real Don Steele on Boss radio)... Eye-popping visuals and incredible stellar performances from a star-studded cast. You can see my video review of this film on the Richard Vernadeau channel on YouTube.… Expand

Every movie is so entirely different in plot, sets, and time periods yet so entirely the same at the DNA (talkies with some hyper violence). That’s QT style. He builds historically detailed intricate worlds that top flight actors flock too to give performances of their careers. If you are the kind of person who only cares about story, "Once upon a time" might not be for you. QT likes to take a movie and mash it up with another genre. Take for instance Magnificent Eight is a western who-dun-it Canterbury tale. Inglorious Basturds is about WWII and the love of cinema. lol. "Once upon a time" is a fairy tale of living in 1960s california and the 1960s movie making business. It just so happens to also be about the Manson murders. Pitt and DiCaprio were amazing. I'm a fan of Margot Robbies performance -- its all visual. This movie felt like 1969! You can tell the actors loved being in this movie. PS: "Once upon a Time" in the title is part Sergio Leone spaghetti western and part Brothers Grimm w/ the twisted Manson ending.… Expand

And Quentin Tarantino sure knows how to send a love letter properly to the golden age of Hollywood that blends humor and mystery in an all-in-one starstudded package. Most people won't buy it, but there is something truly spectacular about it in terms of art and history behind this film. And yes, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt were a fantastic acting duo in this QT directed flick and so are the main and supporting A2B-listers. I recommend seeing this twice or in 35mm/70mm at your local Alamo Drafthouse Cinema if you're lucky enough. Ain't gonna lie, but this is one of those movies that will get you talking for a while.… Expand

Quentin is back with a masterpiece. I almost gave up hope after his last few films. I'm going to go back for a second viewing, but this may be his best all round film. The Pitt & Dicaprio relationship was oscar worthy.

I always heard that he liked to use violence a lot in his films. When I knew the time when the film was going to happen and the historical context that would revolve around the film, I was very curious on how he would approach such a case. To be honest, the film is quite slow and I was not able to get so attached to the characters -- Except the dog Brandy. What interested me most was the end of the film. He surprised me positively for knowing how to use violence in a very intelligent way that made me vibrate and feel pleasant at the same time. It is strange for an extremely violent scene to make the viewer feel so good about it. Who doesn't know actress Sharon Tate and her story, do some research before seeing the movie. It will help a little to understand the ending and the homage behind some scenes.… Expand

Right at the beginning ofOkay, let's talk about Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, the ninth film in the career of the genius Quentin Tarantino and probably his penultimate. Here he brings a very interesting hollywood setting in the late 60's. Right at the beginning of the film you can already imagine what the story will be, as it portrays the murder of Sharon Tate, which shook everyone at the time. Quentin Tarantino's direction and script remain brilliant and extremely authoritative. We can not fail to mention the high point of this work, the performances, Leonardo DiCaprio is impeccable, Margot Robbie is fantastic, but who manages to surprise more is Brad Pitt, who probably did the best job of his career, I believe that Brad's only performance who can go head to head with this is his role in Inglorious Basterds. We also have a brief appearance by Al Pacino, which is a pleasant surprise. The soundtrack is very well done and one of the best of the year. To conclude, I believe that this is not the best film of Tarantino's career, films like Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs present more complete elements, but Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is an excellent work of direction, script, acting and soundtrack sonorous.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OUATIH isn't like any of Tarantino's other films at all. For one, the movie is more focused on setting than plot. However, OUATIH proves that a movie doesn't necessarily need to focus on plot in order to be good. It paints a vivid picture into life in Hollywood at the end of its Golden Age. Tarantino does well to capture the feel and atmosphere of the era, as well as to incorporate the various historical references into the movie.

OUATIH isn't completely devoid of a storyline, though. At the center of the movie is the career of actor Rick Dalton, who's in the midst of a fight to remain relevant. Leonardo DiCaprio shines as Dalton, as does Brad Pitt as Dalton's friend and stunt double Cliff Booth.

The best part of OUATIH is its ending, which contains the thrilling violence which Tarantino's films are known for. It also rewrites history (similar to Inglorious Bastards) in order to create a happier ending for some of the film's characters (though you'll need to be familiar with the Tate murders to understand the significance of the ending). While it isn't Tarantino's best movie, OUATIH is a compelling film and surely a must-watch.… Expand

The movie was released in 2019 and was well-received by critics. The movie starred Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie.

In my point of view, this movie needs to be watched at least because it mirrors the particular period of American history. It guides the audiences through the atmosphere of 1969. This movie raises acute questions that worry and cause a stir the minds of people nowadays too. Great acting and wonderful script unconditionally attract attention to this picture.

'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood' is a kind of a fairy tale about Sharon Tate's life, which have never come true in reality.

I guess for Tarantino lovers, the lack of gratuitous violence (in most of the film) might be a disappointment. I just enjoyed it for what it is, the clever writing, the clever dialog, the ever-so-human characters and their weaknesses (except for creepy 40 year old in an 8 year old body.)

I think not, but does it capture everything Tarantino was going for , Yes it does, I really liked this film, i think it's very similar to Tarantino's Jackie Brown in nature and structure. it's a movie about friendship and it's very funny i didn't expect that from this movie but it worked pretty well and thats also because of how Leo and Pitt nailed their roles, you can see DiCaprio's emotional breakdown and feel it, and he was great and really owned this character, as for Brad Pitt i can say it's my favorite character from this film , he pretty much has the best lines and the best scenes, Margot Robbie as Sharon tate, even if she was not given the biggest part in this movie, but she did good the movie is filled with long scenes that gave an advantage to the actors to really shine,the production design is Phenomenal, you can feel the 60's vibes, the sets and the Hollwood Boulevard are beautifull, the movie it's not about one think, its feels like a collection of moments beautifully directed and very well written and thats exactly what i think of this movie and thats what i liked about it, things i had an issue with is the second act, sometimes a scene could've been shorten but they took a little bit long and sometimes the narrative loses itself but it fixes itself the next scene,i really loved the first and third act, they are GREAT, my major problems is within the second Act that lacks a bit of tension, if you like Tarantino's style of directing and cinematic movie that relies on characters and the performances you're gonna probably enjoy this film.… Expand

We are treated to a delicious timepiece so rich in details and excitement, the story goes back to the golden days of Hollywood when actors were idols in every sense of the word, the story itself goes down different paths that all link up at the end in a spectacular manner worthy of the Tarantino's violent ways, and boy was it fun to watch. The two leads, Decaprio and Pitt bring unparalleled charisma to the table, I'll tell you this, it is almost impossible to take your eyes off the screen when they're on, they just possess enough to grip you throughout the film, they capture the true old Hollywood charm so perfectly.

I told myself I'd keep it brief on this one, but gosh there's just too much good things to say. For one, it's one of only two QT films (the other being Jackie Brown) that put an emphasis on compassion. As a whole, and within the relationships of characters. Especially that of the relationship between Leo and Brad. Pitt finding probably the most hand-in-glove character since Se7en. Great homage to QTs truest love, which is Hollywood, set against the backdrop of Cielo Drive circa 69. - We know how much Tarantino loves to break rules in the best way possible, and he does not fail again on this one. A great sub-tribute to Sharon Tate as well. And why does it seem that these Tarantino films are the only things that really work for Kurt Russell anymore. Either way, great ensemble cast, including Russell, great likenesses to all the old stars. This film is really one of a kind and atypical of Tarantino in the most heartwarming and memorable ways. If you're looking for Kill Bill Vol 1 or Deathproof, you may be knocking on the wrong door. This film has a big heart, even with the usual hyper-violent tendencies. With that said, ONE OF THE BEST OF THE YEAR, and possibly Tarantino's best. An magnum-opus, a love letter, a historical document. It serves so many things. Way to go QT!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positives:
1. The cinematography-- classic Tarantino. If you're a big fan of his previous works, you'll definitely like how he handled the cinematography.
2. The acting, particularly DiCaprio's. In my opinion, he'll be nominated for another Oscar for this role.
3. The music. Make no mistake, the music used for this movie could not be any better. 60's vibes all the way.
4. The writing. Especially the script. The story was a bit dragging, but the script adds color to every scene, no matter who's dialogue it is.

Negatives:
1. Length. The movie is quite long and it could be dragging sometimes, especially in some scenes. Not all, but some. Some scenes are quite unnecessary, and only adds to the length, not the story. 2. Brad Pitt was not well-utilized for my liking. Sure, he had his moments in this film, particularly during the climax part, but not enough.… Expand

With his newest feature, the current master of cinema’s vision reminds us why movies are cool again. For the first time, in a long time, there’s a film that begs to be seen, not in the comfort of your own home, not on your Netflix cue on an airplane, but in front of a silver screen, with an audience and you damn right…some popcorn. Once Upon A Time is less a film and more an experience; one where the bustling hot summer days are corrected by the high intensity air conditioning of the multiplexes; one where the theatres are a safe haven for summer love and first kisses, an experience where going to the movies is as magical as popping your cherry. That’s what a Tarantino film is like; just like when I first went to go see his Grindhouse experience for the first time, Tarantino is a visionary old soul, hell bent on sharing his memorable cinematic experiences of his past, with us today. If you are a cinephile and don’t know about Quentin Tarantino’s work, most, if not all people will tell you that you should just quit now, but I digress. Tarantino worked at a blockbuster in Hollywood, California in his early years, consuming as much cinema as possible. One of his most revered quotes to date about film is his famous line that “When people asked me if I went to film school I tell them no. I went to films”. Funny enough, this quote captures the essence of Tarantino and his canon; an individual who entered the world of cinema out of the sheer love of watching films, just like myself.

As an artist myself and lover of film, I never went to film school also. Hopefully, as someone who would eventually love to make their own films one day, I feel that this is one of the many reasons why I admire, as well as, so heavily identify with Tarantino. I also learned about films by watching them. Just like myself, the influence in Tarantino films is wide ranging. His largest inspirations draws from the New Wave Gangster pictures of France, crafted by the likes of Jean Pierre Melville, Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. All of the names listed are absolute giants in celluloid and contributed in my opinion the most to modern cinema that features, as Godard would say, “A girl and a gun”. According to Godard, that is pretty much all that is necessary to making a good motion picture. Other notable Influences on Tarantino would be essentially any film from the 1970’s because that is the era when he began to understand and study cinema, an era of films by Don Siegel, Sergio Leone and George Roy Hill.

Yet while many are quick to label QT as a scam artist and artistic thief, I feel like it is my duty to rectify that notion. Before continuing on, it has to be said that art copies art, inspiration inspires and according to Mark Twain, there is no such thing as originality, only levels of authenticity. Therefore, it is my extreme pleasure to introduce and name QT a master of authenticity for his cinema. Just like when Sergio Leone remade a Kurosawa picture and developed it into the Dollars trilogy, or when Christopher Nolan gave his interpretation of the Dark Knight recently, or when Martin Scorsese won his first Oscar for remaking a Japanese film and later naming it The Departed, art is not our subject, WE are its subject. Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood is the iconic director’s masterful indulgence in everything that he loves about movies and everything we should love, too! Aside from Taratino, Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood isn’t just one man’s magnum opus, but a collection of so many talented artists, starting with its cast. The film opens with Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt going for a cruise to a watering hole. Dicaprio stars as Rick Dalton, a good ole’ boy from Missouri who drinks for hydration and smokes for oxygen. Once the leading man in television and film, appearing in western serials, one aptly titled Bounty Law, Dalton is on the tail end of his acting career. The Midwestern-American cowboy style Dalton knew all too well, is being suffocated and changed, no thanks to the foreign influenced, free-loving hippie movement. While DiCaprio’s Dalton emits a certain swagger that charms many, the audience comes to realize that this ‘swagger’ is less a personality trait and more a clearly stubborn, unchangeable style and resilience to the conforming of the times around him. According to Rick, Rick Dalton is still big; it’s the pictures that just got small. While it may be hard to argue this notion, DiCaprio’s riotous as the comedic force of the film. Blending well with Tarantino’s signature writing style for a second time, DiCaprio’s Dalton stutters, stammers and then collectively pulls himself together in front of a camera.… Expand

Outstanding in every aspect, exceeded my expectations which were kinda low after Hateful Eight, which is, in my opinion, Tarantino's worst work.

Opinión sin Spoiler:

Gran parte de la película uno no sabe hacia donde quiere ir debido a su ritmo lento y ligeramente confuso, sin embargo y pese a ello, está muy lejos de ser aburrida, la recomiendo totalmente. Lo bueno: 1) Los diálogos:Opinión sin Spoiler:

Gran parte de la película uno no sabe hacia donde quiere ir debido a su ritmo lento y ligeramente confuso, sin embargo y pese a ello, está muy lejos de ser aburrida, la recomiendo totalmente.

Lo bueno:

1) Los diálogos: Siendo de Tarantino está a la altura de las expectativas.

2) Ambientación: Uno de verdad siente que esta viendo una película de los años 60'.

3) El reparto: Brad Pitt y Leonardo DiCaprio se lucen, ambos lo hicieron excelente pero DiCaprio tiene más tiempo en pantalla.

Lo malo:

1) La duración: Las películas de Tarantino de por si son extensas, pero creo que esta no daba para tanto (+160 minutos).

2) El ritmo e historia: Es confuso y a ratos no se puede apreciar bien o historia porque se da vueltas y vueltas, el primer acto está muy bien, el segundo acto es algo tedioso y demasiado lento más no aburrido y el tercer acto es la bomba total que compensa la lentitud del segundo acto.

3) El personaje de Margot Robbie (Sharon Tate): Este es a mi juicio el único y principal punto negativo, Margot es una gran actriz, pero su personaje fue un completo desperdicio, relleno absoluto desde el principio hasta el final.

En conclusión, es buenísima, yo no soy seguidor de Tarantino pero su trabajo debe verse si o si, no será la mejor de su filmografía puesto que es imposible que le gane a Pulp Fiction y a Bastardos sin Gloria, pero eso no le quita mérito alguno.

¿De las mejores del año? Tal vez si o tal vez no.… Expand

Even though I thought Sharon Tate didn't really do much in the movie, everything else was amazing from the characters to the atmosphere and the acting.
