Review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) by Lamontraymond — 25 Jul 2019
I was hoping this film would deliver in a way that most of Tarantino’s other films did, and I was more than satisfied. I laughed VERY hard on many occasions in this movie, and there are plenty of thrills.
Most importantly, Leo and Brad are just incredible in their roles. The direction and writing are pitch perfect, but it wouldn’t have been the same work without the simple brilliance of its lead actors.
I also appreciate Quentin’s willingness to deviate from history when it makes sense. I should also make mention of the always excellent Margaret Qualley (from “The Leftovers”) – she has really good chemistry with Pitt, and she brings the two storylines together.
In this era of bullsh*t comic book franchises, it’s so refreshing to get an original, unique film from a singular talent. When will Hollywood have the onions to take risks like this again? I won’t be holding my breath.
