Wistful, funny and complicated in interesting ways, Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood, may be his warmest film since Jackie Brown - which may not be what you expected to hear about a movie set against the background of the 1969 Manson murders.
It sits at the mature end of Tarantino’s work, bringing his tongue-in-cheek storytelling together with exquisite craft and killer lead performances from Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. And yet, it’s still very much a Tarantino film, trading in genuine emotion one minute, unapolegetically silly the next.

Linda homenagem a Hollywood e a todos que amam cinema. Cada detalhe é uma carta de amor ao cinema.

The result is a surprisingly funny and extremely melancholy hangout film, an elegy for a bygone era that reflects on how all art eventually loses its edge.
This is Tarantino’s Eden, the unspoiled garden when the things he loves don’t have to be sought out or championed because they permeate every aspect of life. The sense of blissful immersion extends to the film’s costuming and production design, both of which are as meticulous as one might expect.
The respective performances of DiCaprio and Pitt and the film’s meticulous attention to period detail are all great and keep you invested in where this cruise around Tinseltown will ultimately take you.
Tarantino, famously obsessed with the history of cinema and its preservation, has recreated a world he wishes he could have worked in with such care and skill and love that, for the most part, it feels like his most personal film. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is lots of fun, but it’s also strangely, hauntingly sad.
I think what Tarantino is going for is brazenly manipulating historical events to suit his style, and turning a well-worn genre on its head. But in so doing he’s made an everything bagel of a movie: Part satire, part bear hug, part fictional bromance.
One of the best Tarantino movies!!! It comes close to Pulp Fiction and is just a amazing movie

Does every director need to make themselves a movie about making movies? For me, the audience member, this all seems rather pointless. Sometimes I want to know how the sausage is made. I don’t want to celebrate it.
Keeping in mind that this movie takes place in a world that existed before I was born, I was impressed by the plethora of vintage signage, cars, costumes, and attitudes. Entire streets appear to have been transformed. The problem is that much of the film relishes in showing the dressing. As a museum exhibit, this would be spectacular.
Tarantino’s trademarks are all here as a kind of self parody. No spoilers but if you have seen Tarantino’s works, you know what I mean. There is some fun to be had with seeing two of Hollywood’s top actors pretend to hang out like old friends. None of it makes for a story.
I should appreciate this kind of meandering storytelling. So many movies follow the same plot that I feel like I have seen them all before. But a truly clever movie will avoid the standard plot and still get somewhere on its own. This story feels thrown together to hit the highlights of this bygone era.
All in all, this is a decent movie. There are some fun times to be had. This could all be a bit less tedious.

For those viewers who are not interested in life in Hollywood, this is an extremely boring and uninteresting film. The only thing that interested me in the film was Tourette's syndrome, which the main character Dalton suffered from. It is manifested by paroxysmal crying, speech disorder and frequent use of vulgar words (coprolalia).

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. He can come up with fun snappy dialogue and cool characters but he rarely explores either in meaningful ways. This was a slog.
