Stars	User	Rating
27	BillyShears	95 _96%
To be in the room when Tarantino realized hippies don’t wear shoes. Actually I don’t want to be in that room. The last act is the most cathartic experience.
21	juntakinte99	97 _93%
Sometimes I can forgive an artist for creating a composite of their Greatest Hits to make a new work. Tarantino does some of that here, with a film that touches on pop culture, American history, Los Angeles, westerns, war heroes, defeating fascists, and watching enjoyable characters talk and live their lives. This is also his warmest movie yet (especially with his two best leads since Jules & Vincent). But it really ramps up with that resolution--as Pitt does his finest work yet.
17	Mentaculus	94 _94%
Perhaps Tarantino's most formally, symbolically, and narratively daring work since Pulp Fiction. Yes, it's often indulgent and overlong, but when your central theme is the retreat into (and conflation of) fantasy and reality, that's ok. Film rule: if you see it, it happened. So, the ending is Tarantino affirming, through his reality (movies!), that a few whacked-out hippies did not destroy the idyll of filmdom: It lives on. There's a reason why Cielo translates to Heaven.
16	Barthalen	80 _81%
As I wasn't really aware of Sharon Tate's history, the end felt a bit off. So yeah, in its right context, the viewing would've been much more impactful. But despite me being a philistine there was a lot here to dig into. Individual scenes are wonderful/tense, acting's excellent, everything just oozes atmosphere and authenticity, and ye gods, that action climax. Tarantino wallowing in movie nostalgia is our gain, if you ask me. (You probably shouldn't.)
16	Darren	72 _59%
My mom's shoe fell off in the middle of the movie and she had to scramble to put it back on before Tarantino cast her in his next picture.
14	XakkMaster	86 _79%
A problem with this movie is that it's not really a movie at some points. It's a slice-of-life homage, it's a collection of scenes, it's a "thank you" to the films, shows & artists that influenced Tarantino. But it's lacking in the story & clever dialogue that has always made his writing shine. I still enjoyed it though. Brilliant acting. Wonderful scenery. The ending saved it for me, plus I think I'll appreciate it more as time goes on, perhaps even just watching parts in more than one sitting.
14	Luna6ix	90 _97%
I went into this one relatively blind, and I think that my experience was greatly enhanced by that limited preparation. Tarantino has always been a good director, but since the 90's, he just hasn't impressed me as much. This is the first time in over twenty years that a Tarantino movie has truly blown me away. He may have gotten a tad self-indulgent in his age, but I was never bored, and the remarkably cathartic ending more than justifies the brooding, aimless pace.
13	Leonardis	96 _91%
I throughly enjoyed it. Maybe Robbie gets a little too much screen time. Maybe the time-jump feels a little awkward. Either way, this film is impeccably shot and very original, like most of Tarantino's movies. DiCaprio is fantastic and Pitt steals every single scene he's in. The final act had me dying of laughter. It's got the same humor and tone and randomness Tarantino is known for. I won't say it's his best film, but it certainly deserves the praise it gets. For SURE worth seeing.
12	The Beast	5 _40%
VERY disappointing. By far tarantino's worst. No captivating Tarantino dialouge; terrible pacing dragging then running, about a dozen different editing styles thrown in make simple scenes jarring and confusing, wasted cast, ZERO impact (the only reason the end is satisfying is because of the deviation from the real Tate murders, not from anything built up in the movie), three separate character arcs and none are compelling. Where did the Kurt Douglas narration come from? A boring flop
12	Paxton	82 _90%
More Inglourious Basterds than necessary, and I say that as someone who loves Inglourious Basterds. Not really sure why we went through it all, but it's a most pleasant ride, even with the doom of what's to come hanging over your head the whole time. I appreciated all the references to the Italian film industry and I'd like a poster of Don't Call Me Ringo, Gringo.
11	terrymac	79 _81%
This wasn't about what I thought it was going to be about, for a number of reasons, but it ultimately worked. It gets so much right, in particular the characters felt like individuals who didn't too often speak with Tarantino's voice. If I was being critical, not much really happens, and what I thought was going to happen didn't (albeit in quite a pleasing way). Wouldn't mind seeing this one again.
11	TheDenizen	85 _91%
Tarantino takes his time building things up, establishing his characters and moving them around the board like a maestro, letting the tension mount forever without paying it off. Then it all pays off in the most side-splittingly hilarious 5 minutes of film I've seen in ages. With tons of fun cameos and more Easter Eggs than you could keep track of in a single viewing (so many incredible film posters), it's another masterpiece, an earnest love letter to movies and the city that makes 'em.
10	Ocelot	95 _98%
Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, in which he gets revenge on the people who harmed his ancestors. to accomplish this, he creates Rick Dalton, a composite of every actor he grew up idolizing, who would form the basis for many of his characters and/or casting choices. a love letter to old Hollywood that culminates in the old saving a new, creating a storybook (look at the title!) ending where film never dies. a very fun time, and if you didn't like it you did a poor job setting your expectations.
9	Obdurate	35 _6%
If you were to explain some of the things in this movie to someone it would come across as a lot better than it is. The ending was fantastic and so was Pitt, and that's all I can really give it. Maybe a few pretty good scenes scattered throughout. At first seeing Daltons' old movies was endearing, then it got boring. Which is the main problem here: it's tedious. Things introduced lazily and never explored. Snappy dialogue is rare. No reason to care as it aimlessly moves from point to point.
9	Groovy_Souls	80 _73%
Once Upon a Time... isn't Tarantino's greatest work, but that doesn't mean it's a longshot from great. In fact, I think this movie is pretty damn good, despite maybe not hitting the mark in a few areas. For one, the first act is pretty slow, but the second and third act pick up at breakneck speeds. The finale almost forgives everything. Great camerawork (as per usual), an outstanding cast, with Pitt even outshining Leo, and just an all-around good way to spend 3 hours.
8	Anomaly	85 _85%
While I felt it lacked a certain forward drive at times that could have been beneficial, this is easily the most daring Tarantino's been in a long time. Rick and Cliff are a fantastic pair of characters, and you practically forget you're even watching a Tarantino movie until faces start being smashed in. The obvious love and care make it work. And of course the ranch scene is more effective than most horror films.
7	TheRealJ-Ro	50 _18%
I never thought I'd leave a Tarantino movie feeling so... unfulfilled. I get it, I understand the references... it's just not much of a movie. Nothing really happens, and even THAT can be done well, but outside of Pitt and Leo having a ball, the ending, and the direction... this is a 165-minute meatless bone. It seems more concerned with name-dropping and being referential, than with any kind of narrative. I have no doubt this is exactly the movie that Tarantino wanted; it's just not for me.
7	Corbad	50 _15%
Painfully pointless. A series of drawn out, meandering scenes without significance or purpose. Without the big names on the poster, this masturbatory drag would have been left in a film-history student's wet dream, where it belongs; you could all but hear Tarantino drool over the retro logos, old cars, and dirty bare feet filling the screen. Academy-bait trash with enough charisma in its two leads to make the public almost believe there's something in it for them, too.
7	Alex Watkins	5 _91%
A more bittersweet historical fiction than Tarantino's previous few. If those films expressed their regret for the past through fantasizing about righteous vengeance, ...Hollywood takes a more melancholy approach by daring to imagine if history skirted past tragedy entirely. All the same, there's a knowing irony to the fact that our protagonists, Rick and Cliff, can't avoid irrelevance forever. Only Sharon gets to be immortal, because she is myth - but here, she's briefly granted humanity.
7	backwardsuit	79 _77%
In some ways this is Tarantino's strongest work since Jackie Brown. For once his willful pace & referential style achieve substantial thematic resonance in this melancholic nostalgia piece. The tone is everything while the plot & context need to be imported. This reliance on external crutch risks dysfunction but evokes strange introverted poetry. As someone whose every thought seems to run through a projector, Tarantino appears uniquely qualified to get away with such extreme self-indulgence.
7	deaddilly	90 _93%
The Tarantino-rewrites-history films are all cinema magic - Pure violent catharsis. This is essentially a punchline film so I'm curious to see if its luster will wear off over the years, but it certainly delivers the exhilaration of a classic on first watch. We also have a clear cut winner for the best movie dog of 2019, sorry Mr. Wick.
7	JSchlansky	93 _94%
Where else are you gonna see Brad Pitt lick dog food and fight Bruce Lee? Nowhere but Hollywood, baby
6	antidood1	30 _3%
Hey guys, did you know that Tarantino likes OLD MOVIES? and FEET? Glad we got this 160-minute movie to confirm that.
6	INDYATMN	89 _85%
When DiCaprio's character starts to flub lines it starts to feel redundant, like QTs indulging himself again just so he can film a tv western but he manages to turn that into increased stakes so the triumph's that much sweeter. Then we get Pitt in yet another of QT's masterful suspense sequences that parallels fictional danger w/ "real" danger. & whether intentional or not, it's oh-so satisfying to watch the 60s version of easily manipulated, fascistically idealistic youth taken down
6	hellboy76	72 _86%
Less a cohesive plot than a sample of scenes in a weird alt-history homage to film and television. It's not always effective, but it's fascinating when it is. It's sweet, and sad at times, creepy and visceral at others. It's not his best work, but it might be his most effective as a director.
6	jacobclark12	90 _87%
A nice spin on the fairytale genre in another great revisionist history fantasy from Tarantino, this time in his own fantasyland -- 1960s Hollywood. Pacing is a little slow early on, but the performances and script more than make up for it and kept me interested until the brilliant third act rolled around.
6	AFlickering	5 _76%
almost a shame he's making one more, 'cause this plays like a swansong and ends on his most sublime and definitive image: a hushed ascent into hollywood heaven which illustrates how, like any zealot, he's forever chasing ghosts. it's worst when he's blaming the loss of his rosebud on the rise of liberal resentment, this tearing down of great values and institutions of the past due to their problematic' baggage, but thankfully the love and grief mostly shine through the bitterness.
5	DavidBlast	40 _28%
Yet another confirmation that Tarantino - the director - is irrelevant (I respect his taste in movies and music). His stories are pointless, set up in small alternate universes, with his fetishes spread throughout a meandering plot, that ends up in the inevitable rehash of some violent childish revenge scenario. He has said that he would quit directing after 10 movies. Seeing as he's been remaking the same one 3 times in a row now, I can't be the only one asking: Are we there yet?
5	chengming	45 _15%
Come on, Quentin, not everybody gets off to old movies like you do, at least put something akin to a story in it for the rest of us. Felt like the incoherent ramblings of somebody way beyond his prime, and would have been totally unwatchable without Brad Pitt.
5	KasperL	80 _86%
As Cliff Booth, Pitt gives one of the most magnetic performances not just of his career, but, really, of any big movie star's career, and the section at the ranch ranks among the best in QT's oeuvre. Qualley also aces her role. I'm less enamored with Leo's performance, but he has two great scenes with Butters - certainly QT's most heartfelt ones since the romance in 'Jackie Brown'. As for the ending, I thought that it was pretty weak that (spoiler) he did the exact same thing as in 'Basterds'.
5	Mist600	88 _80%
QT cant resist his typical end cumshot BUT 99% his most slow, mature, human, film yet? \| Quality film-making obv + not 2 disrespectful of real Ppl \| Plot light \| Knew Leo'd = usual high standard \| Wonderful surprise = Pitt?: His most believable, quality & 'real' performance, I think. DESPITE = damn-nigh unstoppable badass, still more relatable & believable than recall seeing b4 \| Ranch scene = great \| Pitt playing stoic buddy to diva star = inherently amusing & he does it so well?
5	Yiannos	55 _36%
Thoughtful Tarantino? It's a meandering trip down memory lane to a bygone era that has been reimagined as a kind of nostalgic receptacle emptied of all meaningful social/political content.Not that we expect great depth from QT, but even the narrative and dialogue struggle to sustain interest for 160 mins.DiCaprio's character is a boring sad sack, and while Pitt fares better as his laconic stunt man/assistant, there is no getting around how underdeveloped (and uninteresting) their characters are
5	WWallce4prez	90 _95%
As Tarantino matures, so settles his manic filled stories. His tribute to the waning moments of the Golden Age of Hollywood is filled with pop-culture, needle drops, and an atmosphere thick enough to make you sweat. But it is the sadness of the story and the time spent with these characters against this masterful backdrop that really makes this likely one of his greatest films.
5	Adds	40 _12%
Amazingly Pitt managed to outshine DiCaprio. The entire film should have focused on Pitt's character and been half as long. It might have been somewhat cohesive had that happened. As it is it looks like Tarantino had too many ideas and no one had the guts to tell him to pare them down. This was a mess.
5	Velvet Crowe	64 _68%
It boasts a lot of strong scenes and great cinematography, but it's disjointed and also has a lot of scenes that are flat out boring. There was no coherent conflict or even much of a story being told so much as it was a bunch of random events strung together. It's interesting in what it conveys about Hollywood and fame, but these themes never coalesce into something satisfying. Not to mention it has a lot of missed opportunities in cinematography. An interesting watch, but... meh?
4	DaxV	90 _79%
It'll be a sad day when Quentin isn't making films anymore. This is probably his most scaled back in a while (take that for what you will) there's a bevy of entertainment here, and quite a bit of heart as well. It took me by surprise and wasn't nearly as tasteless as I expected. Given the subject matter and context I think this could've gone in a much worse and unappealing direction and I'm satisfied that this was anything but that.
4	sellis	78 _55%
There’s no way for me to express it other than the flat and obvious : Tarantino is putting an Inglorious Basterds spin on this scenario like he did with slavery in Django. There’s some nuances in theme and character occurring in the first two thirds, but the finale exposes itself as such. No one would accuse Tarantino of being understated, but this is the third straight film that is a slog. Charisma and style make it solid entertainment, but subpar execution for the pieces on the table.
4	NothingsGood	30 _20%
Congratulations, you can make the same movie 9 times.
4	Zarkon	87 _81%
The film deviates considerably from Tarantino's other works with long scenes of minimal dialogue or suspense. But it's also peak Tarantino, as we see DiCaprio superimposed into scenes from real TV shows and movies. As the film's title suggests, it draws on the Western genre in multiple ways, and it was fun to see parallels between DiCaprio's struggles as a TV cowboy and Pitt's driving around town being an actual cowboy.
4	Seethruskin	5 _80%
Actresses have feet
4	bof	81 _86%
In which Tarantino tries to deal with the fact that, 25 years after Pulp Fiction and 2 years after #metoo, he's not the young revolutionary but the cranky old guy going "Get off my lawn!" OUATIH is in a lot of ways quite reactionary (there's a reason he reduces the Manson family to just representing "hippies", and Tate to a mostly non-speaking image of beauty) but it's never less than entertaining, and often thrilling. ~3 hours just fly by. Top 5 Tarantino for me.
4	Hofschneider	70 _30%
Tarantino got old. Nothing new to say besides LA is for cool people and Inglorious Basterds was great, right? And yet, he misunderstands his own movie. By believing that the Manson Girls deserved the same punishment the Nazis did, thinking that the altering of history was the trick. It wasn't. Basterds was great, because of the specific melting pot of our Nazi narratives. OUATIH is intellectually and in part aesthetically so lazy it almost becomes the midlife crisis it wants to mock.
4	TangVampire	75 _6%
You could lose about half of this film's content and the story would be unchanged. Don't get me wrong, the parts I liked, I really liked. Both Leo and Brad Pitt's performances were charming and fun. But a masterpiece film, this is not. And before any Tarantino stans get mad at me-- I got all the references. It's not ignorance on my part that this film left me cold, it was the storytelling.
4	djross	40 _26%
Rather uninspired and a backward step for Tarantino (back into adolescence...or pre-adolescence, probably), with one-dimensional characters, a weak script and a mostly dull narrative that isn't redeemed by an ending that seems too much like the director thought "wouldn't it be cool if...", a thought that, as usual, goes nowhere good.
4	boomdiddly	51 _33%
The acting is great. There are moments of brilliance. However, most of the movie is just faffing around in Hollywood and "Look, a reference!"
4	Jerky	75 _93%
Does Tarantino have a foot fetish? Uma's feet in both Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, sucking on Salma Hayeks's toes in From Dusk Till Dawn, and now focusing on barefoot hippies? How deep does this rabbit hole go? Really great performances by Pitt and Leo and Tarantino does a great job of capturing the late 60's Hollywood aesthetic. The ending was quite a welcome surprise. This is how you successfully subvert expectations Game of Thrones! Yeah, I'm still mad at you.
4	loc42	70 _56%
T's movies are as personal and "art for art's sake" as Brakhage, Tarkovsky, etc.. He celebrates our ability to tell stories through light and movement. Further, with a post-modernist nihilism, he knows that stories are never authentic, but always plastic and derivative. They're there to produce affects, excitement, and desire. And with his latest films, he utilizes this plasticity to "intervene" into important historical events and to give us what he'd like to have instead. Not great though.
4	ienjoycinema	65 _30%
In what will probably be the most divisive film of the year, Tarantino delivers his signature style of filmmaking, but he tries balancing too many elements at once. It lacks identity. The script wanders all over the place until it reaches an inevitable Tarantino bloody climax. It's pacing has all the nuance of a parabola, starting strong in the first act, lulling the audience to sleep in the second, and then suddenly spiking back up again at the end. Oh, and we get it Quentin, you like feet.
4	Beer94	64 _49%
I think the lack of nostalgia for this era of films hasn't really helped here. I felt waves of boredom peppered around a few good scenes and I think it just needed a little more backbone in terms of plot to keep me engaged really. Unfortunately, quite disappointing.
4	guy piranha	75 _81%
Of course, I'd rather listen to a foot-worshipper rambling anecdotes about the good 'ol days, than watch anything else that passes for plot in big budget cinema these days...but this bait-and-switch is earned with just that little too much patience for my taste. It's equal parts awesome filmmaking and the most aimless, meandering tarantino do tate, errr, to date.
3	glumpy_99	84 _70%
If far from top tier Tarantino, this might be his most interesting effort to date in choosing DiCaprio's "yesterday's hero" as a clear surrogate; this feels like the work of a director looking back on his career with some regrets, leading to a surprisingly stodgy, old-fashioned directorial style, lending a sleepy feel to his usually zingy extended dialogue scenes. Unlikely team of Pitt and DiCaprio works well, providing subtle echoes of QT's previous "revisionist history" entries. Fascinating.
3	forehead1	40 _26%
The Hateful Eight pushed patience in parts but at least had a simmering tension throughout; this one is just.. boring. A collection of increasingly flat and pointless scenes that seem to care more about emulating 1969 than they do engaging the audience. Tarantino is unconventional by nature, but the writing was always entertaining: here we have a few funny moments, a good performance by Pitt, and the climax is great, but this ten minutes doesn't make the other dull 150 worth sitting through.
3	schnofel	67 _66%
He conceives a slow, menacing thriller with fetish-like compassion for its characters and their fate, before deciding "enough of that" and going into Tarantino-land with the third act. The first approach to the story suggests an upcoming catharsis that the audience-pleasing finale sidesteps for comical brutality. And it's not the sadism per se that I blame in Tarantino, it's that for film after film it has become an easy out for the cultural, emotional and dramatic complexity he sets up.
3	thegreyfox	80 _74%
I have to hand it to QT. This film highlights his script writing and imagination, more than it does as a film maker. Although his style is uniquely QT (nothing can be told, it has to be shown; normally the whole car journey or walk is mandatory in order to play the full song!) the beauty of OUATIH is the warmth of the fantasy he has imagined. Its just a wonderful thing to say "You know what? We are not going to accept that shit - this is what SHOULD have happened!". Just great performances.
3	CMonster	90 _93%
This may actually be the kindest compliment a film can possibly receive: I knew the run time going in and when it ended I legitimately thought there was another 30-45 minutes left. It was so enjoyable it just flew by. Probably the biggest flaw is how much of your perspective on what is happening relies of knowledge of the real Sharon Tate. Without that knowledge going in, I can see being confused by some of what was included in the final cut.
3	ribcage	95 _97%
Really not much happens except to give color to either the characters or the era, yet it's brilliant. I am such a reluctant...uh, fan, of QT that to say he's done something brilliantly makes me step back and sentence over it. This is great, this is expert. For once, QT has made me love him in the moment and not itch to watch what he's homaging (i.e. Kill Bill vs Lady Snowblood). I wanted to stay in the world he created it was so good.
3	myfavchords	84 _86%
This film takes a long time to get going, some of the beginning of the movie could have been edited out. The film slowly builds to an exciting climax. The cast all do a good job here with their characters. The buddy relationship between the characters of Pitt and DiCaprio were the most interesting. Overall I would recommend this film.
3	comepelicula	80 _87%
Pretty good, nice build up and characters made this a very fun film to watch, a true fairy tale about Hollywood
3	The Pirate	71 _34%
Similar to Hail, Caesar! in that it seems more intent on showcasing the golden age of cinema accurately rather than telling a good story. Why spend half the movie following Sharon Tate only for her storyline to NEVER have any conflict or convergence with the Rick Dalton/Charles Manson storylines? I don't mind Tarantino rewriting history; it's worked before but it has to be for a compelling narrative, and this movie rarely sees that. It's entertaining but ultimately feels like misused potential.
3	joel-w-m	6 _44%
On first blush it's nicely crafted but its one compelling arc (Rick's disillusionment/friendship with Cliff) is squashed by a bevy of boring referential scenes disconnected from the shocking but empty climax. Upon closer inspection, many delightful details emerge to reveal a fascinating web of narratives meta-commenting on storytelling and identity-yet they also make plain the film's ugly misogyny, misguided revisionism, and gross glorification of cowboy violence, especially in the climax.
3	Pickle_Man	85 _66%
Best effort from Quantum Tortellini in a while. Too many feet though.
3	Narg	86 _91%
Symbols and metaphor abound in what ultimately, I think, is a regressive movie where the point is nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. It succeeds wildly though as a deeply personal vision from QT of a "what could have been" where the innocence and hope of the 60's is allowed to go on a bit longer, ironically thanks to the brutal violence of the traditionally masculine Cliff who might or might not have murdered his wife. I expect that on repeat viewings the film will feel messier and overstuffed.
3	Rexlito	86 _85%
Ignore the foot fetish and focus on the pretty cars. Al Pacino's character was boring. Great ending.
3	FrederikA	85 _92%
(SPOILERS) A warm-hearted and humorous love-letter to a bygone era, an out of time western, a violently cathartic fairytale, and most of all; a bone-fide proper fucking cinematic experience that will leave you with a smile on your face and a warm feeling inside.

it manages to put a western set in the 1960s, has long strides of simply spending time with its characters (feels a little like the first moments of Jackie Brown before you see how they're all connected), is authentic in form and design, somehow is bursting with aching sympathy for an era and the people in it, explodes with a satisfying payoff ... and ultimately it feels like a guy inviting us to sit back in a theater with your friends and join in the nostalgia.

In many ways more restrained and refined than any of Tarantino's films from the 2000s. There's less irritating exploitation of blatant entertainment than in his previous films. Also, Once upon a time in Hollywood is a decent depiction of the end of the 1960s, even with a bunch of obvious clichés.

Fucking hippies

Thoughts on "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood": I know others will disagree but I for one prefer a happy ending. The hippie "pit" shots are gonna set the feminazi movement back 100 years. If "Inglorious Basterds" was Tarantino's self-proclaimed masterpiece, this ties 'em up in a bow. Just when you think child acting can't get any more precocious, along comes Julia Butters as Trudi and kills it. Since when has a Tarantino movie every made you feel all warm and fuzzy? I don't know if the fight scene

Mostly I feel it is a weird movie, but the craftsmanship and the performances of Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio still make it good.
2	SirStuckey	80 _78%
As of late I haven't liked much of Tarantino's work. Generally his movies are interesting and worth at least watching, but by the end they aren't working much for me and then seeing so many say it's a masterpiece annoys me beyond all reason. I was very pleasantly surprised by this. This just felt fun and fresh and those points in most of his movies where he has to show how knowledgeable he is about films didn't stick out like a sore thumb as they usually do.
2	Iamdwg (Interpreting the Stars)	88 _82%
Wow. I didn't know what I was expecting with this, but whatever it was, the expectations were exceeded. I love Tarantino's work particularly when he tosses a fictional group of people in an already established setting. Similar to Inglourious Basterds, because then the rules don't apply to the new characters and anything can...and usually does...happen. I really liked this!
2	Mr.Olivier	86 _89%
Unfortunately I went and spoiled the ending for myself before I saw it. I have a real bad habit of doing that, but I think this is the first time I seriously regret it & am pissed at myself. When I go senile, please someone make me watch this again. That said, I wasn't clued in on just how goddamn bonkers that last 20 minutes or so was gonna be; after the previous 2 hrs of what I thought of as uncharacteristically tame violence-wise - for a Tarantino film - the climax was a fuckin' treat.

Do you know why Quentin Tarantino still shoots his movies on film?... So he can measure the movie in FOOTage.
2	Gnalkhere	75 _59%
When DeCaprio calls Pitt a good friend, i felt that. I didn't expect to walk away from the film and describe aspects of it as wholesome; Pitt and DiCaprio's dynamic, Al Pacino and his wife
2	Countdown	100 _95%
Great movie, a new favorite.
2	andayb	60 _46%
No idea what Tarantino was trying to achieve here. He has two great characters, and absolutely no story. It takes a fucking while for the plot to go anywhere, and the final payoff is nowhere near to what we're used to from Tarantino. Pitt and DiCaprio's killer performances are sadly wasted here.
2	Jimmy Suede	78 _68%
Okay, I'm not a fan of Tarantino, but when I friend dragged me to this I actually enjoyed it. This is a mostly restrained film, not T's normal self-indulgent celebration of violence and filth. Right, it's not completely restrained, with the ending violence going too far, and the language throughout. But Tarantino actually does show his talent, giving us a decently fun and meaningful tribute to classic Hollywood (and specifically westerns). On top of it, DiCaprio and Pitt were both great.
2	mattorama12	79 _87%
There's not too much here in the way of story. But all of the lead characters are very interesting, and most are very funny. (This may be Tarantino's funniest picture, overall.) The setting and scenery is where it all really shines, though. Seeing a Tarantino vision of late 60's Hollywood is just so much fun it would be hard not to love this.
2	magdabag	98 _99%
I only have one complaint about this movie....the fucking hippies!
2	TheDailyNathan	82 _61%
One of the most enjoyable Tarantino movies, especially with Leo and Brad Pitt's performances. This one feels more like a love letter to this era of Hollywood - I think it's harder to appreciate the characters and film references without that context. Ultimately the various homages don't quite come together into a tight story, and there's not nearly as much dialogue tension as other Tarantino films.
2	P u l p	68 _62%
I'm glad that The Hateful Eight was his last movie.
2	JaiGuy	85 _83%
QT is on a serious self reflexiveness ride here (with more movies under his belt), and 1969 never felt this palpable. The exact direction the ending took was a little phoned in. I get that Tarantino is being Tarantino, but sometimes I want my expectations to be subverted.
2	anilscn	62 _66%
Kurgularıyla meşhur bir yönetmenin yaptığı tek berbat kurgu. Hollywood içinde de en kötü kurgular içinde yer alması olası. Belki de Tarantino'nun en iyi oyunculuklar ve gerçekçiliğe sahip filmi olmasına rağmen alakasız sahne geçişleri ve gereksiz hippi eleştirisiyle film vasatı aşamıyor.
2	Bown	86 _80%
Tentative score because dang do I need to see this one again. Wildly entertaining throughout, yet definitely messy, indulgent, and too long. Tension builds very well in Tarantino’s classic style, and the cinematography is excellent. Pitt and DiCaprio are doing some of their best work ever, while Robbie is an underused delight. I didn’t feel like the themes of the parallel storylines worked together like they could have, but we’ll see upon rewatch. Rick and the girl was my favourite scene.
2	Josh Forrest	85 _97%
Despite all the hilarity, this ends up being more powerful / moving / heartfelt than I'm sure any 'faithful' portrayal of the events could've possibly been.
2	redflag	98 _93%
Going against the grain, the final act ruins it for me, it really does. Complete tonal shift and all the stakes fly out the window. A fairy tale instead of a tragedy just doesn't work here. It's a damn shame and a missed opportunity; we could have had another Inherent Vice. So many good set pieces wasted. Imagine the film ending as "Out of Time" winds down ala Reservoir Dogs instead. WIthout the ending, it's a masterpiece.
2	frederic_g54	8 _77%
(2nd viewing) Even though I wasn't a huge fan the 1st time I saw it, it always stuck with me for some reason. The way story and characters work in great unison - a fading star navigating the ever changing landscape of Tinseltown - is something I grew to love this time around. From a filmmaking standpoint, it looks and feels top notch, and Brad Pitt is just a total boss in his role.
2	Ytadel	8 _93%
A million Tarantino imitators have come and come since ‘94 or so, but there’s still no one else who makes a movie quite the way he does. Low-key favorite scene: Brad and Leo watching the FBI episode and riffing on it.
2	philamental	76 _72%
Nowhere near his best work but this is still a fine slice of Tarantino pie. Cliff Booth, brought to life wonderfully by Pitt, is a great character and his story and part in the superb climax is the best part of the movie. QT makes a bold choice to include a narrative twist that only works if the viewer is aware of a specific historical event, and I don't think the choice pays off as too many scenes effectively serve no purpose other than to sell a twist that many will miss.
2	timmo	70 _28%
Well made self-indulgence (not in a bad way, necessarily). It's exactly what Tarantino wanted to make, so if you're into that, it's probably for you.

2	cagedwisdom	75 _65%
The past three Tarantino films have been so rock solid that I honestly forgot what it was like when he misses the mark. Indivudual scenes in this are fantastic, but it really suffers from having no clear focus or driving force, and it's all over the place way too much of the time. Brad Pitt carries the film for most of its length, and a few thoroughly memorable scenes does save it. Not a bad film at all, but I expect a lot more.
2	begoniabol	89 _93%
I really enjoyed this movie. I loved the pacing, despite it's a long movie. Time flies by in no time. The finale is my favourite part: what an absolute blast.
2	MadMan	97 _91%
Brad Pitt high on acid in the funniest scene of the year, a Bruce Lee impersonator who is literally Bruce Lee, Margot Robbie getting Sharon Tate down pat and Leonardo DiCaprio reminding everyone he is one of the best in the business. What a movie. Treasure QT while he still makes films.
2	DMCrimson	82 _75%
Why are we watching Sharon Tate watching her own movie, it's not adding anything, what could Tarantino possibly reveals bare feet ok, that's why
2	mwestcott	96 _84%
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a surprisingly held back affair from Tarantino. His dialogue is on display as well as his keen directorial eye. It really comes down to its two lead actors. Both of whom give it their all and it results in a passionate film that if you're invested is probably one of Tarantino's best. However, the film certainly won't win him any unconverted fans.
2	jthusky	80 _80%
Placeholder "good" score that I'll change once I figure out whether this was good, great or a masterpiece (right now I'm leaning between good and great)
2	feublo	85 _73%
Tarantino's tragedy-gone-fairytale delivers an entertaining tribute to Hollywood. Where evil finds itself coming to a non-sensible, violent, halt - I could not escape the gloomy overcast knowing the charm of a genius' imagination.
2	fenixdown	84 _89%
Real good.
2	doyler29	60 _18%
Rick Dalton is an aging man facing changing times and what he ultimately learns is that he doesn't have to adapt ... all they have to do is smash and kill the young whippersnappers demanding change. It feels like a film from an irrelevant angry old man, and I wish he could do better than that.
2	Guillaume	70 _37%
Not nearly as engaging as most of Tarantino's works. Other than a good laugh and still some genuinely great scenes, I kind of felt lost in this movie. Tarantino's strong storytelling makes way for a playground-style movie with some cool sketches, I don't think that's for me.
2	Actionberg	90 _92%
It's a superb work, full of the great acting, camerawork, and soundtrack one can expect from the auteur. Outside of those broader points, it's all the little details that make it really shine: the roar of car engines, the beautiful XCUs, this one dude just riding the shit out of his horse. I'm the last guy to get romantic about Hollywood, but thematically speaking, the film nails its own argument for nostalgia and the fantasy of a valley never robbed of its innocence.
2	nobamba	70 _76%
Yeah...there's not much of a plot here. But it's very nostalgic and filmed/paced well. Easily one of the more accessible Tarantino films. Long detour on Sharon Tate which didn't really have anything to do with the film, so I assume it's just a way to shoehorn Margot Robbie into being a costar. BS on Brad Pitt kicking Bruce Lee's ass. Fav scene: The Fourteen Fists of McCluskey.
2	overrated	91 _97%
The impact of the finale is lessened if you've already seen the historical fluidity in Tarantino's other films, but in the end OUATIH presents a far more sentimental, fantastical indulgence of an alternate universe. The Tate/Manson plot is a framing device for an extended clip show - I could have happily sat through another hour of Rick Dalton material with Cliff Booth commentary. Post credit scene should have been a Monty Pythonesque, lovingly rendered female foot crushing Charles Manson.
2	seeayesix	35 _8%
Worst Tarantino so far, can't really recall how terrible Kill Bill was, and I'm not about to rewatch it/them.
1	offlineoz	90 _91%
At the full command of his craft, Tarantino devises both the most un-Tarantino and most Tarantino-est movie of his career. Long, slow, dialogue-free takes coupled with incredible writing and stylish camerawork, he creates his most focused and mature, using themes of nostalgia, innocence and tension. Brad as Cliff Booth steals every scene he is in, outshining all his co-stars and the myriad of cameos. And that ending, Jesus, Tarantino at his best right there.
1	skap	85 _66%
Burning to death in a swimming pool full of water? What makes this movie so satisfying is the ending (not just the violence which is merely a signature) that retrospectively consolidates the rest and lingers in the memory. This is exactly where lesser films shatter into pieces. It is much more subtle than Inglourious Basterds in the way the plot "parasitizes" the real events without actually depicting them but using their knowledge as an essential prerequisite of the viewer's experience.
1	HoneyB	78 _67%
Great ending.
1	Nacho353	40 _38%
Ok, I love this kind of blending of fiction and history. Also loved how the scene with Pitt and his wife in the boat seems to evoke the car scene in Pulp Fiction. Anyway, seems kind of pointless and is not as funny as the other pointless Tarantino's (like Kill Bill and the Hateful Eight).
1	morphinapg	74 _61%
I enjoyed the movie. There are a few things that I particularly loved. Anything with DiCaprio on set, and all of Brad Pitt's story (who really felt like the main character to me), in particular the Manson ranch and grand finale scenes. Unfortunately, anything with Margot Robbie just felt... completely unnecessary. I suppose there's misdirection there, but it drags the movie too much imo. Some stuff outside of the set with Leo also didn't land as well. Pacing needs work. I'd cut it down further.
1	bizort	95 _98%
Watching this a second time opened the whole thing up for me. Knowing the ending, I didn't have to be hamstrung by wondering what would happen, was able to enjoy what was in front of me and I enjoyed this for the incredible creation that it is. I originally thought the first act dragged but it all flows so nicely. It really does look like a love letter to Hollywood, with real love.

1	Quintonjamin	90 _90%
It's just a bunch of scenes that don't really have anything to do with each other, but Tarantino somehow wonderfully connects them all. DiCaprio is great, Brad Pitt is amazing, and Kurt Russell somehow makes the voiceover narration enjoyable. Extremely interesting and hilarious.

1	Yoshinaruto	65 _56%
Probably the weakest Tarantino-directed film I’ve seen thus far, in that it’s the only one I don’t plan to rewatch, but it’s still good. It doesn’t warrant its runtime, but it’s well directed, written and acted. The ending is probably pretty polarizing, but it’s the kinda thing I always think about being portrayed in these types of movies.
1	Onac	74 _81%
This one took about 50 minutes for me to get involved in what's happening. Fortunately after that Tarantino's writing started to shine through. The characters are realer than real again. The dialogues and interactions are fun and have an element of danger to them. However, I didn't feel like the supporting characters were fleshed out so well as they are usually in Tarantino's movies. The ending however was surprising and even touching which has never happened with Tarantino before.
1	Ametrine	8 _64%
This movie reminds me of Splash Mountain: A slow but fun churn ultimately leading to an exhilarating splash, all wrapped up in some delightfully heavy revisionism. Also similar to Splash Mountain, while a thoroughly entertaining experience as is, I think it could have been about a third shorter and still had the exact same impact.
1	jimmyp	100 _99%
This is an amazing film that more people need to see or re-evaluate because it is just that good.
1	semioticus	75 _52%
Technically masterful. Emotionally, not so much. It's missing something or has too much of whatever that is. It might be the "love letter" quality of it that put me off, or maybe because the suspense wasn't sustained throughout I got disconnected. Either way, it's an "unrewatchable" Tarantino movie and that's very rare for me.
1	Joe Deering	85 _93%
A shame that his decision to make a day-in-the-life style film gets so much criticism, especially when the characters are so damn vibrant. Observing these fleshed out characters within such a detailed and lovingly crafted world only adds to the film's brilliant ending, which is Tarantino at his most profound.
1	Filligan	89 _75%
Unusual fare from Tarantino in that the plot often sits on the sidelines while the film meanders, purposefully taking winding scenic routes. This is made all the more obvious with the jarring shift into the third act (which needed a narrator to hold our hands). So much of this could have been cut and we still could've had that insane, peak-Tarantino catharsis of an ending. But, you know, I was never bored. So I don't exactly know how to feel yet. This score could change dramatically soon.
1	mismatched02	60 _57%
Technically well-executed, and certainly ambitious to try and rewrite such a horrible event in history. Not sure how I feel about that, morally. I'm too violence-averse to particularly enjoy any Tarantino, but his moments of self-parody are a lot of fun. I would recommend to Tarantino fans and folks who were in LA during the 70s-- the nostalgia factor is strong.

The acting was excellent. The movie goes nowhere. There's really only a couple ok scenes and the end action scene is entertaining, but plotless otherwise.
1	peyrin	80 _81%
Tarantino's answer to The Life of Pablo is a sprawling, messy snapshot of auteurism and foot fetishism, leaping from idea to idea, chopping together trademark influences everywhere, and discarding the boundaries between film, fiction, and reality entirely. Tarantino is at the stage of auteurism where he can basically make movies for himself and no one else and it still slaps

1	Amorfus	86 _20%
Long winded. Great acting. Great dialogue. Takes a lot of time to say very little. The ending sequence is almost worth the wait though.
1	KenMeisters	79 _84%
Tarantino looks back on Golden Age Hollywood and portrays a male friendship heading towards an uncertain future. Wrapped up in pre-hippie nostalgia and Tarantino's signature style (of course you'll see Margot Robbie's feet front and center on the big screen), the movie surprisingly is not what you'll expect from your typical Tarantino stunt and it might be all the better for it. But don't worry, there is still enough slick dialogue and ultraviolence for you to enjoy.
1	Armilio	68 _52%
The most theoretical film by Tarantino ever, following the trend of T.H.E., already a less visceral and more cerebral film. It's pure meta-cinema: it doesn't want to talk about the late '60s or Manson, but about the cinema and the effect of cinema on us. The mimetic and chatartic effect of rooting for character like Cliff. Dreaming about Hollywood being the Dalton, Tate and Polanski Hollywood. Feels episodical because of this, the central part is a patchwork of nostalgic glimpse of the past.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is Tarantino's weakest film, with a long run time that isn't quite justified by the admittedly decent third act payoff
1	Neonman	87 _86%
The atmosphere of the 1969 LA setting is lovingly detailed, and it is integral to this film's attitude towards embracing the joys of life, even as you become older and irrelevant (which should mature, not corrode oneself), seen in the dichotomy of Rick and Cliff. Although the TV show production scenes are entertaining, they may be where the film's fat is. But some people say nothing happens in this film, but they're wrong, everything happens in this film.
1	moraesfelipe	80 _85%
Tarantino's love letter to one of the periods less, say, loved about Hollywood -- TV was already big, epic productions were being replaced by bold films -- and he makes sure we get an extragavant damn panel of all that -- Rick's heyday on Bounty Law, hippie culture on crisis, car rides in sunny LA, restaurants' neon lights, Tate enjoying her own film, hillbilly Pitt's massacre of white supremacists, Rick trying to make it in spaghetti western, the Basterds' mechanism of rewriting history.

American dream vs American reality. Tarantino really did it this time. Showing off the coolness in the beginning with excellent and one of most satisfying endings in recent movie-watching. Meant to be seen in the cinema. As for plot, it feels like the victims got their revenge, even though only fictional - but could there be a better way to get it than a blockbuster movie about it? The movie is slow (which is positive), storytelling is not perfect, but god damn if this movie didn't blow me away

2. This I fell in love with. Having prior knowledge and understanding of the tragic Sharon Tate/Polanski story is what makes all the difference here. One must be well-versed into the details of the bygone Hollywood era, what culture was back then, and what Tate and Polanski stood for, in order to experience this frank masterpiece, this ode to Hollywood executed with pitch-perfect tension building, acting and craftsmanship throughout. Easily my new favourite Tarantino flick. /c Cinema City Sofia

1	CosmicMonkey	80 _67%
God, Tarantino gives me more conflicted feelings than any other living filmmaker. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a little racist, a little sexist, a little bit self-indulgent and overly long, but I'll be damned if it also isn't one of the most clever and brilliantly subversive pieces of Hollywood storytelling I've seen in a long time. It's the weirdest, most abstract and least accessible film QT's ever made, but also somehow the warmest and most relatable.
1	VinegarBob	85 _89%
This movie is begging for a more strict editor, being about half an hour too long: Numerous scenes should have been outtakes, the few long Sharon Tate scenes disrupt the flow of the movie, cut up and sprinkled as they are throughout, and the scenes catering to Tarantino's foot fetish are tiresome. Having said that it's pretty funny, looks great and any time Pitt or DiCaprio are onscreen, which is most of the time, it's eminently watchable. The 85 score is for the two and a quarter hour version.
1	nauru	70 _77%
Really nice film about stunts, acting, and the motion picture business. Beautiful production design and cinematography. The ultra-violent part was the weakest part of the film, as is typical with Tarantino's work. But overall, this is worth a watch.
1	kgbelliveau	87 _70%
While it does have style and a very different take on a very horrifying and shocking true story it is a little bit to erratic for the run time it draws. Not a weak film by any means, the romanticism and love letter towards old timey Hollywood seem lost on a rather lacklustre conclusion. It's sound in every aspect other than having a cohesive plot to follow at times. You can skip a good 60 per cent of the filler scenes and the ending will still make sense given the context of history.

It felt like Tarantino was hugging me for 2.5 hours. The surprisingly warm embrace of a one-of-kind master of his craft. I'm in awe of any artist that can flesh out his wild inspiration into such an attractive and enjoyable universe. (I would dare say that knowing about the Manson/Tate history beforehand is almost a prerequisite to enjoying the impact of the revisionist fairytale angle fully)

It was doin' OK right up until the end when the story derailed completely. With a better ending it would've been a 80+ movie.

I started to like Tarantino more and more; this is such a daring movie to shoot and its biggest achievements do not even flash as they are so realistic (fake spaghetti westerns, fake 50s westerns, fake action movies...). The production quality is otherworldly, and Brad Pitt deserves the BSA Oscar. The story is very daring and could have gone sour easily, but somehow Tarantino kept it very touching and tasteful. Robbie's depiction of Tate (Although I don't know how realistic) was endearing also.

Tarantino movies have never been my type so I'm not too sure what I expected. There were some nice moments, but far too much dragging on and disjointed storytelling for my tastes. It's certainly not bad, I enjoyed watching this despite the length, but I would have also been okay not watching it I guess, if that makes any sense. At least, one thing is for sure, Tarantino's style is most certainly unique, often imitated but never matched.
1	amazedemon	63 _39%
If Inglorious Basterds was Tarantino’s take on the demise of Hitler, then this film is his version of the Tate murder. Unfortunately, the plot indulges Tarantino’s love of film from the 50’s and 60’s, but not the audience’s love of entertainment. The film feels its near 3 hour runtime without really going anywhere and the humour rarely lands. The climax is great but not worth the wait. Pitt was the only consistently entertaining part.
1	martryn	84 _84%
I could care less that the scenes were largely just interspersed random tidbits here and there leading up to a final setpiece confrontation we all knew was coming. Every individual scene is great, and you can largely watch them out of order. And the last 15 minutes was just hilariously intense. Tarantino still has it.
1	prowler	81 _82%
an ode to 60s hollywood that expertly toes the line between cheesy nostalgia and on-the-nose deconstruction. QT achieves it by giving his characters room, and through distinctly personal worldbuilding. It's not perfect but there's no way it could've been.

What if...the Manson family went to the wrong house the night they were supposed to do in Sharon Tate? Visually fantastic, about the loveliest valentine to the '60's imaginable.
1	Icarus	84 _75%
Definitely not what I expected for more than two hours, then something much more familiar took over. QTs willingness to do something different for the bulk of the runtime placed his typical revenge fantasy stuff in a new, more human light. Where the violence feels mostly silly in other films, here it is more closely linked with justice. This complicates my response to the film in a wholly appropriate and, dare I say, ethical fashion.
1	Duder	60 _40%
Well, it is official that Tarantino and I will never get along. Even on his most "normal" films like this one, I just can't find much to hold on to. Only his name saves this picture, if it were someone else, it would just been named boring. Just because you know how to film something well, doesn't make it good. What was the whole scene with the blind guy? Seriously..
1	JJ1986	60 _54%
The least-Tarantinoy of his movies, especially at the beginning when it feels like a Shane Black or David Fincher film. Switches more into QT's trademark long scenes, but they feel like exercises, detached from each other with no sense of urgency or impetus moving the plot forward. Beautiful and with a good rhythm, but never really feels like a movie. The narration near the end is awful and the precise timing in that scene leads to nothing. Weird movie.

For me Tarantino is about quirky ideas, tense dialogue, weak jokes and lack of self-criticism. This one is by far his worst film. It is a one trick pony where 2.5 hours of pure boredom is used to set up a joke, which is fun, but is also reused from his own materiel. Pitt is great, while DiCaprio is in to deep. I assume someone will enjoy the many and long film snippets, but I despise westerns, and I found Dicaprio's inconsistent performances annoying.

The least violent and eventful of Tarantino's films, which isn't a bad thing. The story is meandering and occasionally feels pretty pointless. The film takes a long time to build up, and after that the finale was a bit disappointing. The acting, however, is great, and somewhat makes up for the excessive duration.

Aesthetically pleasing with a great cast but quite disjointed.

Almost nothing happens in this movie, but I honestly think thats ok. The characters are really fun and its just a movie that you can sit down, kill 3 hours, and watch. It's a great film thats beautiful to look at, funny, and takes a slice from 1969 and puts it on the big screen.
