Read Joshua's Review of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood visits 1969 Los Angeles, where everything is changing, as TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way around an industry they hardly recognize anymore. The ninth film from the writer-director features a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is in theaters on July 26th, 2019.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood might be Tarantino's most artistic film yet, boasting an all-star cast. Tarantino's 9th movie takes the fictional story of Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) whos wild journey have them intertwine with a lot of people who really existed in Hollywood in 1969 such as Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), Marvin Shwarz (Al Pacino), Bruce Lee (Mike Moh), and many, many others.
Tarantino had announced months earlier that the film would center on the notorious murderer and cult leader Charles Manson and his “family,” and in particular, the murder of actress Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie. The Sharon Tate murders have been retold over and over in so many different formats, so the viewer will go into the movie with an expectation to see this story portrayed from a different perspective. However, the viewer will most definitely be surprised because Tarantino has a quirky way of twisting history in a way that his fictional characters can be heavily involved. Think back to the movie Inglorious Bastards and how Tarantino has Brad Pitt's fictional character tell a very different historical narrative.
Without giving much away, this movie is a must see! For a movie that runs 2 hours and 45 minutes, Tarantino makes use of the time. There's the obvious character building scenes, but it's worth the wait. The last 45 minutes of the movie will keep you on the edge of your seat! Enjoy the movie.
Rating: 4 out of 5
