Review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) by Marklaing1 — 19 Jan 2020
Man, I'm a big Tarantino fan and this was a stinker! Never mind rewriting history, which was bad enough but how about a bit of rewriting in the script, or some editing? Lumbering, clanking, overwrought and downright weirdly flat.
Anyone else writing this script would never have got past the first reader and anyone else directing it would have been excoriated. Leo and Brad were great and seeing all my favorite olde time Hollwdood haunts kinda fun but what was the point? A Hollywood "down memory lane" trip? Those places weren't integral to the plot and just appear for seconds.
Casa Vega, El Coyote? Porque?? I can't believe I managed to sit through the whole thing. Really? You're going to rewrite the Manson story so folks under 30 will think this is what actually happened? Ak.
