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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
