Title: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Review: What does one say about a Tarantino film? Not his best…. but damn good. This is his ninth –and rumored to be his last…and we finally caught up with it during The Plague, after it hit STARZ/Amazon for free. A lot of similarities in tone and pace to Pulp Fiction…but everyone knows the story. The portrayal of an alternate history for the Manson-Tate murders was especially intriguing. Leonard and Brad are great together and Robbie is luminous as Sharon Tate. The very recognizable supporting cast is excellent…and the shoot itself is magnificent. Seemed a bit aimless in its story telling, bur gripping nonetheless. Very, very Tarantino all the way around…which makes it must-see in my book.
