Too much sole


Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

Written & directed by Quentin Tarantino this film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. In 1960s Hollywood a tv actor realising his career is on the way down discovers he is living next to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate.

As with any Tarantino film this one elicited a huge amount of praise and success but at the end I was left unsure about how I felt about it. On the one hand I loved the exploration of 1960s Hollywood from the point of view of the less glamorous side but on the other I am not sure how I feel about the ending contrasting with history. There are definitely some enjoyable parts to this film and the long run time did not seem like a stretch.

3/5
