Movie Review - Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood is, without question, the least enjoyable movie I've ever given an A+ to.
The writing and directing are some of Tarantino's best. The acting was as good as you'll see. Leonardo DiCaprio was at his best, which let's face it: is the best ever. Brad Pitt was fantastic. My only mark against Pitt in this movie is that his character isn't much of a stretch from many other roles he's played.
To be fair, there were a few scenes, here and there, where I saw DiCaprio's character from Wolf of Wall Street.
However, even though the movie gets high marks all around, I didn't love it. I'm certainly impressed by the acting and craftsmanship on display. I just found the setting disinteresting. It's the 70s, for crying out loud. They thought neon was amazing. If there's a decade that needs to be flushed down a time toilet, it's that one.
However, I can hardly knock a movie for that, now can I?
Spoilers to come if you want them:
