Review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) by Moviemitch96 — 27 Jul 2019

I'm such an unabashed, die hard Quentin Tarantino fan! As far as I'm concerned, the man's a genius and has never made a single bad film! Every new film of his is like Christmas for me, as I always eagerly await to see what he has in store for us next with each new film, as his style is just so unique and in-your-face.

So you can probably imagine my excitement when I found out that his next film would be set during the golden age of Hollywood during the time of Sharon Tate and Charles Manson, star an amazing ensemble cast headlined by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, and would pay homage to films and Hollywood in general.

That's pretty much all of my favorite things wrapped up in one spectacular package! And I'm more than happy to report that it did not disappoint and delivers on virtually every front! Granted, those familiar with Tarantino's style are probably aware of how ultraviolent his films are throughout, so it was a little surprising to see most of the action and gore in the film's final half-hour or so, but he more than makes up for this with an excellent screenplay and dialogue that's come to be expected from him, along with a colorful array of witty characters and moments throughout.

DiCaprio and Pitt, two of Hollywood's biggest stars, are paired together perfectly and work off each other hilariously throughout the entire film! I only wish Sharon Tate (played beautifully by Margot Robbie) could've been utilized a little more in the film.
