Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Academy Award × 2
Rent/Purchase
Los Angeles, 1969. TV star Rick Dalton, a struggling actor specializing in westerns, and stuntman Cliff Booth, his best friend, try to survive in a constantly changing movie industry. Dalton is the neighbor of the young and promising actress and model Sharon Tate, who has just married the prestigious Polish director Roman Polanski…
What critics thought
Broadly acclaimed on release and now widely considered among the finest films of its decade, Tarantino's sun-drenched elegy for late-1960s Hollywood drew the most enthusiasm for DiCaprio and Pitt's chemistry and the film's immersive period atmosphere — but divided critics sharply on the slow, digressive pacing, the revisionist ending, and whether the film's nostalgic gaze for white-male Hollywood came at the expense of everyone else on screen.
“Big, brash, ridiculous, too long, and in the end invigorating, the film is a grand playground for its director to fetishize old pop culture and bring his gleeful perversity to the craft of moviemaking.”
Steve Pond·TheWrap
“layered and ambitious, the product of a confident filmmaker working with collaborators completely in tune with his vision”
Brian Tallerico·RogerEbert.com
“heady engrossing collage of a film—but not, in the end, a masterpiece.”
Owen Gleiberman·Variety
“obscenely regressive vision of the sixties”
