This is my review on the movie Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood 2019
No. 28 Cinema
About:
A faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood’s Golden Age in 1969 Los Angeles.
Review:
Massive Tarantino fan and always been fascinated by the Sharron Tate story so this was a long time coming but it didn’t live up to my expectations.
For me it was an hour to long and in places felt scenes were added just to make the film as long as possible as Tarantino likes to do.
It kind of felt like the movie was a homage to Hollywood rather than concentrating on the storyline.
With that off my chest, I thought the story was really interesting and liked the different take on the iconic story of Sharron Tate.
The acting was solid by all and loved seeing the old movies stars pop up within the story but for me Brad Pitt absolutely nailed it and smashed he’s role, every time he was on scene the movie come to life. Stunning preformance by an amazing actor, 100% made the film he’s own.
Verdict:
Far from Tarantino’s best movie but Brad saves the day.
Review:
3.5/5
End credits:
Yes
Fun facts:
One of the Italian films that Rick stars in is directed by Antonio Margheriti; in Inglourious Basterds (2009), “Antonio Margheriti” is the alias used by Donny Donowitz to sneak into the premiere of “Nation’s Pride”.
