Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (8/10)
I don’t care for Tarantino films but I wanted to see this one because of its setting in the decade I grew up in - or failed to grow up in as some say. The film pleasingly uses LA’s hit radio, television, movies, cars, neon signs, and attire to put us back in 1969, a year of fun and limitlessness, confusion and violence. Pitt won an Oscar, DiCaprio should have won one. His performance as an actor trying to salvage his career, is his best. Only rarely does Tarantino present likable characters. Most are rather cartoonish, like Vince and Jules for example. Both leads are amiable and we feel for and hope the best for them. The core of the film is Rick and Cliff's friendship.
