Review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) by Sergeantsoz — 30 Jul 2019
I’m a big fan of Tarantino but this one was just okay. It ranks towards the bottom of his portfolio but since this is about Hollywood, Hollywood critics will eat that sh** up. Same as La La Land. Usually the user scores are higher than the critic rating but this time it’s the opposite and that says something.
I went in expecting more I guess. It just didn’t seem to have any story at all and no development or explanation of anything, just about 3 hours of nostalgia trip. People who lived in that era will probably love this film more than I did but at the end I was like - that’s it? It’s a well-made, well acted movie but most Tarantino films have amazing dialogue scenes that this film lacked.
It was mostly just montages of old 60s style movies and TV shows. Overall it was funny and the cast was terrific. I’d recommend seeing it but it won’t blow your mind or anything.
