Review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) by Mixotic — 31 Jul 2019
I really enjoyed this ride through 1969 Hollywood. This is a love letter to film and entertainment from a different era, with all the over acting and jump cuts one one would expect to see. I found myself laughing out loud many many times, and the acting is of course delightful.
The buddy-buddy relationship between DiCaprio and Pitt is both adorable and heartbreaking. I found the pacing to be excellent for a movie that's 2:45 long (although I did need a quick bathroom break!).
It's amazing how many quintessential Tarantino moments there are to take in, while not being over the top (dare I say absurd?) in the way that Django or Kill Bill are. An amazing look at a classic era in America, through a very specific lens.
