Not every film needs a plot that rushes. Some just let you live inside them. This is Quentin Tarantino at his most relaxed—and somehow, still in complete control. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood doesn’t chase urgency; it builds a vibe. Slow, detailed, and effortlessly immersive. Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt don’t just act—they exist in this world. Their chemistry carries the film, making even the simplest moments feel engaging. And that’s the trick here—nothing feels forced, yet everything **** film plays with nostalgia, industry illusions, and fading ****, all while quietly building towards a finale only Tarantino would dare to deliver. It’s not for everyone. The pacing can feel too laid-back if you’re expecting constant movement. But if you get it—you really get it. Final Verdict: Not about where it’s going. It’s about the ride—and what a ride it is. Cinema wins. Mediocrity loses.

Once Upon a Time has the style unlike any take on the late 60s Hollywood has ever done. Tarantino gives us a back-seat ride through it all, and it was a vibe. But was expecting more from the story. Tarantino uses Kurt Russell's narration to skip over a lot of meaningful development. And resorts for showy, glamorized catwalks for Leo and Brad. It doesn't quite earn its greatness, even though its there. The on-set scenes were amusing, but not really compelling for the audience. I think what Tarantino wants is different than want the movie is calling for. It's asking to be a career-exploration, but QT resorts for a hang-out movie. But in the midst of it, Once Upon a Time becomes a beautiful flash from that time, with fictional characters, and a bad-ass clash ending that makes it all worth it. But while these things deliver, everything in-between just felt like killing time. Not really 'going into' anything. I didn't always connect with how Tarantino explored the story, but I did fall for the charm and love for this period. And Tarantino sheds a poetic, justified light on it (even though his indulgence sometimes gets in the way).

This is probably the Tarantino movie I enjoyed the most out of his filmography (admittantly I have not seen Death Proof). I find that most of Tarantino's movies are around a 7/10; however, I quite enjoyed this one and think it's worthy of a solid 9/10.

昆汀寫給好萊塢黃金時代的情書。還是《無恥混蛋》的路子，但這次寫得沒那麽出彩。小李拍戲的部分和皮特農場的部分都過於冗長，李小龍那段加得也毫無必要。最後才小小地秀了把暴力美學，把邪教分子當納粹分子燒掉還是有昆汀的風格，其他大部分都讓人昏昏欲睡。

Não sabia da história real de fundo do filme, mesmo assim gostei, Ele tem várias cenas legais desconexas, mostrando o cotidiano dos amigos Rick (ator famoso mas decadente) e Cliff (seu duble e faz tudo) na Hollywood dos anos 60. O filme tem uma ambientação bem legal, um dos pontos fortes. E o final tmb lembra o final de **** Inglorios, não só pelo lança chamas mas tmb por mudar uma história real, ao invés da Sharon morrer, ela é salva pq os protagonistas matam os hippies seguidores de Manson. Enfim, um bom filme.

Once Upon a Time in HollywoodA tale of old Hollywood told in a funk Tarantino’s way.Once upon a time… in Hollywood comes with a cool insider look at how Hollywood works. It touches the core of what it means to make movies and how much drama it has in it. Although Tarantino kept it quite realistic and didn’t go into the depth of things, which is his usual style, I still felt like it was mostly a documentary series told through 3 perspectives. It captures the 1960s era of Hollywood and encapsulates it for a foreigner who has never seen even outside of Pakistan, a greater look into what it felt like to be in that time. DeCaprio and Brad Pitt are at their best with Margot Robbie chiming in with her usual charm and incorporating the female actor of 1960 vibe at the very best. With that I do feel like the film misses its mark at conveying something like a message or a good ending. If you. Tarantino usually does this in most of his films, but this one just felt a little bit short of that when I was expecting a huge send-off. But that’s my opinion. The film has the usual bloody fight, good cinematography to sell realism and of course, feet, loads of them!PROS:- Good cinematography.- Realistic writing (no exaggeration).- Based & grounded storytelling.- Brad Pitt & DeCaprio carrying the film.CONS:- The ending felt weak.- Some characters are written only to have no impact to the story.RATING: 7/10

Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood là phim tái hiện Hollywood năm 1969 qua lăng kính hoài cổ, hài hước và đầy châm biếm.

The fact that a movie so absurd as this is getting a sequel tells a lot about the downfall of America.

I don’t really know what to make of this film. Nothing much really happens, and by the end you get a few good scenes, but up until then, I was just bored. The typical Tarantino-style dialogue is completely missing. There are some random movie inserts (which at least add a bit of action), and that’s pretty much it.Very little about the film actually sticks with you. But maybe that’s just me. My friends, who usually have great taste in movies, liked it, but even they couldn’t quite say what exactly makes it good. I think this is one of those films you just have to watch for yourself and decide.

Hollywood jerking of to Hollywood, the most american and boring movie, mid movie

Ending aside, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood rarely feels like a typical Tarantino movie, but the excellent cast and well written dialogue still make for an enthralling watch.

Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood is a signature Tarantino film, packed with big names, stylish direction, and a deep love for old-school Hollywood. The plot? Well, it’s more of a wandering journey than a structured story. Things happen, characters interact, but there isn’t much tying it all together in a traditional sense. That’s expected from Tarantino, he’s more about moments than narratives. The slow-paced intro sets the tone, but it doesn’t really pick up in a way that makes you feel a sense of urgency. The directing is classic Tarantino, with his trademark long conversations, sudden bursts of energy, and, of course, his obsession with feet. The cinematography nails the late '60s aesthetic, from the lighting to the vintage sets, making Hollywood feel alive in every frame. Camera work is bold, sometimes chaotic, but never dull. Acting-wise, DiCaprio and Pitt carry the film effortlessly, delivering performances that feel natural and engaging. The sheer number of recognizable faces adds to the spectacle, making every scene feel like a who’s who of Hollywood. The script has its moments, sharp dialogue and some solid character work, but the comedy often feels forced rather than organic. The soundtrack, however, is one of the film’s strongest elements, blending iconic tracks that perfectly fit the era and mood. Overall, it’s an experience more than a story, and while the pacing drags at times, the world it builds is captivating enough to keep you watching. I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, but it’s an enjoyable ride if you’re in the mood for something that values atmosphere and performances over a tightly woven plot.

Confesso que quando assisti pela primeira não me pegou tanto, mas agora eu simplesmente amo esse filme, tudo nele é lindo As atuações Cenário As músicas É um clássico subestimado

Quentin Tarantino's back, with a grand posse of his favorite actors, to tackle the faded sheen and troubled dreams of celebrity life in Hollywood during the late '60s. Although their subjects are quite different, this film's structure is very similar to the preceding Hateful Eight, in that it takes forever to get where it's going and tends to linger on short, irrelevant asides that add to the tapestry but don't have much influence on the greater plot. It's loaded with flavor, lovely little touches that bring a very specific slice of life back into the present, but after a while it begins to feel over-indulgent. As if the director just wanted an excuse to recreate a beloved time and place, then take a stroll, breathe the air and look around. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is peppered with entertaining performances and amusing cameos, with particularly impressive work from Margot Robbie as the sweet, sunshiny Sharon Tate and Brad Pitt as a guarded, past-his-prime bachelor in the John Wayne mold. The city and studio lots all look great, bustling and alive, with various characters' paths crossing in a string of complex, delightful coincidences. And the last scene, loosely (er, very loosely) depicting the Manson family's violent siege on the Hollywood Hills, is pure Tarantino. Chaotic, gratuitous violence, rampant unpredictability, explosive payoffs... it's crookedly wonderful in the most wicked of ways. I don't want to spoil anything, because the surprise is part of the fun, but at that moment it changes gears from Hateful Eight to Inglourious Basterds. You'll know what I mean when you see it. I didn't dislike this, but I didn't love it. It certainly would've benefited from some selective editing and smoother pacing. I think the importance of Sally Menke, Tarantino’s longtime partner and behind-the-scenes collaborator, who died in 2010, has been evident in the director’s recent output.

A quintessential Quentin Tarantino movie. I really enjoyed it. Not his best movie but it’s up there in the top 5 for sure.

Another underrated Tarantino movie next to “The Hateful Eight”.I don’t understand why some people don’t like this movie. Granted it’s not for everyone but either way it’s an another classic for Tarantino.

J'adore l'acteur qui joue Jay Sebring, c'est mon acteur préféré je pense ! Il est vraiment très beau et j'adore tout ses films ! Par contre ce film est un peu trop long

I thought it was pretty bad! I kept thinking the ending was gonna save it. There’s the scene with the little girl actor where Leo talks about the book he’s reading. A western where the hero is old and has a hip injury and is still trying to fight. When I saw this scene, I said- that’s gonna be the ending! The Leo character is gonna pitch this book for a movie and it’s gonna be his best, most personal performance. I doubled down on this idea when Brad Pitt got stabbed in the hip, meaning he could still be the stuntman for the adaption because they both had hip injuries. I also thought this would be like the Hey Arnold episode where the action star had to step up in real life and get over himself. I thought Leo and Brad were gonna see the Manson clan attacking the neighbors and Leo was gonna have to go save them, thus getting his introduction to Roman Polanski.Either of those ideas would’ve made the movie make more sense and carried an actual theme throughout. Instead, Brad Pitt who, even discounting the dead wife, was violent with his coworkers and police, got to continue his violence and be a hero for it. And Leo managed to save himself, and then get rewarded in such a shallow silly way by gossiping with his famous neighbors about it.I wish they’d had Sharon Tate be an actual person, instead of this perfect, cutesy person who everyone is in love with. Not saying she wasn’t a lovely person, but the way they did it was boring and cliche (everyone staring at only her in a huge party of people dancing). And of course, as you pointed out, all Manson complexity was dwindled down to “hippies”. Manson wanted power and fame. He wanted a race war so he could capitalize off it. The little scene where he went to the Polanski house was pointless, and told us nothing about his character- the weird charm he has over people, his motivation, nothing. Id rather he had remained an unknown the whole movie than have this scene that meant nothing. If they only wanted to show that he knew this address, Pussycat could’ve mentioned how Charlie used to live over there. She saw Brad and Leo driving away from that nice area the first time they waved at each other. The whole ranch scene was good and tense, but the George thing went nowhere and dragged on.Lena Dunham was weird casting, and took me out of the moment. There was so much racism, that it went from realistic for the time up to bad satire. I honestly can’t tell if Tarantino is genuinely nostalgic for this time, or making fun of people who are.

I was so bored the whole time, I would have stopped watching it if I was not on a plane

Pretty damn boring for the first couple of hours. Ending is pretty fun but not sure if it was worth the wait.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is like a chill drive down in a classic car. DiCaprio and Pitt shine as faded **** and loyal sidekick, cruising through groovy tunes and 60s vibes. Tarantino's love for Hollywood is infectious, but things are soooo slow, ending's kinda weird. Still, the bromance, the nostalgia, and the whole fame-game trip are fun as hell. Not quite mind-blowing, but good flick.

Does every director need to make themselves a movie about making movies? For me, the audience member, this all seems rather pointless. Sometimes I want to know how the sausage is made. I don’t want to celebrate it. Keeping in mind that this movie takes place in a world that existed before I was born, I was impressed by the plethora of vintage signage, cars, costumes, and attitudes. Entire streets appear to have been transformed. The problem is that much of the film relishes in showing the dressing. As a museum exhibit, this would be spectacular. Tarantino’s trademarks are all here as a kind of self parody. No spoilers but if you have seen Tarantino’s works, you know what I mean. There is some fun to be had with seeing two of Hollywood’s top actors pretend to hang out like old friends. None of it makes for a story. I should appreciate this kind of meandering storytelling. So many movies follow the same plot that I feel like I have seen them all before. But a truly clever movie will avoid the standard plot and still get somewhere on its own. This story feels thrown together to hit the highlights of this bygone era. All in all, this is a decent movie. There are some fun times to be had. This could all be a bit less tedious.

I am impressed how this movie is so overrated. Jesus this is the most "no plot movie" I have ever seen in my life. This is the worst movie made by Q. Tarantino so far. The acting is fun and there are some scenes that tear you a smile, so my rate ain't 0 as it should be. Very overrated movie.

Gotta rewatch but holy moly is this fun

Bold and bang to tears!! Quentin Tarantino insanely creafted his nostalgically great love letter to the golden age of silverscreen.

Quentin Tarantino's most mature work since Jackie Brown, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a fascinating "what if" story featuring a great ensemble and Tarantino's usual engrossing dialogue. The effort that went into recreating LA in 1969 is worthy of an Oscar by itself.

Linda homenagem a Hollywood e a todos que amam cinema. Cada detalhe é uma carta de amor ao cinema.

One of the best Tarantino movies!!! It comes close to Pulp Fiction and is just a amazing movie

not bad movie, but not good either. The story is really miss & match, visual is decent, and the voice is also decent

In my opinion every Tarantino movie is great but I do think this one is of the best! Right up there with Pulp Fiction and Django.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Perhaps the weakist Tarantino movie. Still it is far better than 99% of Hollywood productions. Soundtrack is excellent.

Ну, что сказать? Это такой типичный, типичный, типичный Тарантиновский фильм. Большую часть времени, ну 90% примерно, составляют тупые, монотонные диалоги. Диалоги которые ничего не объясняют и не к чему не ведут. Вот к примеру, герой Дикаприо садится на стул рядом с девочкой и ни с того ни с сего начинает лить слёзы, о том какой он несчастный и ни кому не нужный, и так на протяжении 15 минут. К чему всё это? Не понятно. Смена кадра и всё, никто не вспомнит про этот эпизод вообще никогда. И вот так или почти так практически весь фильм. Повествование часто прерывается на полуслове и больше никогда к нему не возвращается. Это же касается и эпизода с персонажем Питта. Он вдруг ни с того ни с сего то ли реально оказывается, то ли просто вспоминает, я лично не понял, себя на съёмочной площадке с Брюсом Ли, а потом ни с того ни с сего начинает с ним реально драться и умудряется навалять ему люлей! При том сам Ли показан каким то самодовольным хамом. (Хотя люди, лично знавшие Брюса, всегда писали про него как про человека достаточно скромного). Зачем всё это? Тайна. Даже поездки, просто поездки на машине без диалогов, в фильме настолько нудные и долгие, что создаётся стойкое впечатление искусственного растягивания хронометража. Как в какой нибудь GTA. Экшен сцены двигающие сюжет в фильме тоже есть, но их совокупная длина составляет минут 15 из 2 часов 40 минут протяжённости всего кино. И эти сцены показывают нам дружбу двух совершенно разных людей, чьи судьбы прописаны очень поверхностно. Так же в сюжет напихано много разных реальных и придуманных персонажей. Но зачем их сюда напихали, одному Тарантино известно. Эти персонажи не несут вообще никакого смысла. Такое ощущение, что снимали сереал часов на 15, а затем передумали и обрезали его до одной серии и выпустили в прокат. Как не странно, но это произведение не имеет вменяемого начала, в нём намертво отсутствует завязка и кульминация. Ёлы палы, у него даже нормального конца нет? Короче, фильм ОЧЕНЬ, ОЧЕНЬ на любителя. Я таким любителем не оказался.

This isn't one of Tarantino's best but still a really great film nonetheless.

For those viewers who are not interested in life in Hollywood, this is an extremely boring and uninteresting film. The only thing that interested me in the film was Tourette's syndrome, which the main character Dalton suffered from. It is manifested by paroxysmal crying, speech disorder and frequent use of vulgar words (coprolalia).

Ооо… в этом фильме я люблю ВСЕ. Какой шикарный актерский дуэт получился у Лео и Брэнда?! Ммм… просто сказка. И эта чудная операторская и режиссерская работа, я прям проникся атмосферой конца шестидесятых в Голливуде.

Maybe Tarantino is an overrated hack idk. He loves to parade the fact that he went to film school but I'm convinced he just failed upwards with Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. The movies are well directed but writing is not his strong suit. He can come up with fun snappy dialogue and cool characters but he rarely explores either in meaningful ways. This was a slog.

The chemistry between DiCaprio and Pitt is the best i have seen in recent years. Both of them offer incredible performances, especially Pitt, with the relationship between Cliff and Rick being the crown jewel of the film. Masterful writing and direction by Tarantino also help elevate this film to a masterpiece.

The movie has some flops due to the setting and year it takes place but the Quentin Tarantino film it's a good film but kinda changes history in this movie upset the Sharon Tate murder.

This Tarantino magic is truly unique; like nothing else in the film industry. It takes a deep journey into the lives of two men looking for their place of fame in Hollywood; all masterfully complimented with outstanding filming, talented acting, and a mind-blowing production set that deserves in full the awards it has received due to its time period accuracy. Being set in the late 1960s, there is no 21st century vibe throughout the whole film which fully impresses me. A lot goes on during the film and requires full attention and concentration. Multiple viewings is also advised. Quentin Tarantino applies a genius twist to a true story, thus resulting in this thrilling masterpiece.

I love Tarantino, unfortunately, this film is absurd and absolutely poetically dump in its execution. Nothing occurs until the last 15 minutes and even that is just a shock stop to provide no emotional weight or payoff just a frustrating look into how this incredible cast got wasted in a boring script. It's a slog and every critic is brainwashed into thinking that everything this man does must be incredible or thrilling. No it's not. This is an example of boring film making where the director's ego overplays the substance of the film, entertainment and exaggeration given for the simple look of slick and cool. It doesn't pay off and Brad Pitt's character and Leo's passion is wasted in Sharon Tate spin off story. This is disgusting and it was a complete waste of energy. It's a shame to see professional critics give into the weight of Tarantino and not see that this film is pathetic.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This film is full of violence and extreme gore (at the end) and is a wonderful take on Hollywood during the 1960's. The acting is phenomenal and the film certainly has great cinematography and scripting. I wish that the audience was reminded once in a while on what the basic plot of the story is and the direction of it. The basics of any film is a plot. And this movie just hopes that we already know what it is, but we dont. It's dull and has nothing much to say at all. The acting is the only good part.

It’s a Tarantino movie so get ready. And the acting alone is worth seeing the movie. Leonardo amazes me every time, he’s such a fantastic actor! This movie won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but its entertaining.

"Once upon a time in Hollywood " 10/10 Wow, another genius movie from Tarantino! spoiler alert: Watch the WHOLE movie to understand !
