Watched the 2019 movie directed by Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I would give out 3.5 out of 5. Lots of great 1969 music and references. The extras are great too.
[From Wikipedia] Once Upon a Time in Hollywood[a] is a 2019
comedy-drama film written and directed by
Quentin Tarantino. Produced by
Columbia Pictures,
Bona Film Group,
Heyday Films, and Visiona Romantica and distributed by
Sony Pictures Releasing, it is a co-production between the United States, United Kingdom and China. It features a large
ensemble cast led by
Leonardo DiCaprio,
Brad Pitt, and
Margot Robbie. Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the film follows an actor and his stunt double, as they navigate the changing film industry, and features “multiple storylines in a modern fairy tale tribute to the final moments of
Hollywood’s golden age.”
[5][6][7] Announced in July 2017, it is the first Tarantino film to not involve
Bob and
Harvey Weinstein, as Tarantino ended his partnership with the brothers following the
sexual abuse allegations against the latter. After a bidding war, the film was distributed by
Sony Pictures, which met Tarantino’s demands including
final cut privilege. Pitt, DiCaprio, Robbie,
Zoë Bell,
Kurt Russell, and others joined the cast between January and June 2018.
Principal photography lasted from June through November around Los Angeles. It is the last film to feature
Luke Perry, who died in March 2019.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 26, 2019 and in the United Kingdom on August 14. The film has grossed $374 million worldwide and received praise from critics for Tarantino’s screenplay and direction, acting, cinematography, costume design, production values, and soundtrack, though it received criticism for its pacing and running time. Among its various accolades, the film was chosen by the American Film Institute and the National Board of Review as one of the top ten films of the year. It received 10 nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won Best Supporting Actor (Pitt) and Best Production Design. It also won Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the 77th Golden Globe Awards.
A television series of Bounty Law depicted in the film is being developed by Tarantino, who has written five episodes of the series.[8][9]
