Thrillingly unrestrained yet solidly crafted, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tempers Tarantino's provocative impulses with the clarity of a mature filmmaker's vision.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

There seems little doubt that every detail of the tableau has been selected to give [Tarantino] pleasure, and we are being permitted to witness a private ritual of self-gratification, on more than one level. Aug 14, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The plot is a tapestry template that drops in characters like shining beads and watches the story weave slowly around them. Aug 8, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

A bittersweet, complex, conversation-starting look back at the film business at the close of a tumultuous decade, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood also works as a strong argument for why it's too soon for Tarantino to pack it in. Aug 5, 2019 | Full Review…

Don't mistake me: This movie is good. It all depends on how hard you're willing to work to justify its pleasures. Aug 2, 2019 | Full Review…

It feels like Tarantino is so wrapped up in indulging in his own filmmaking style that he loses sight of what made his best movies work. Jul 30, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's dispiriting to suspect that part of why Tarantino wanted to stage a Manson-adjacent story was because the accoutrements-the period cars and costumes and neon signs, the glowering barefoot hippie girls, the acid-laced cigarettes-were just so cool. Jul 30, 2019 | Full Review…

This is a film set in a stunningly evoked Hollywood past. It can also be read as a commentary on Hollywood present. Aug 18, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's gorgeous and funny and sometimes hilarious, though often uncomfortably so. Shadows of "real" Hollywood are everywhere. There's a lot going on, so much so I nearly forgot about Tarantino's weird obsession with women snoring. Aug 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's Tarantino's love of incremental tension-building that really sells - and sets apart - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He's long proved a master at delivering great pay-offs and in that regard he might well have hit a career high point here. Aug 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

In a space dominated by massive studio franchises, it is so nice to be able to watch a film that feels like a real work of art, crafted by a person, not a committee. Aug 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood shows us a fictitious world that was undoubtedly plausible. We can always say 'what if...?' - and that is Tarantino's mantra. Aug 16, 2019 | Full Review…

Tarantino shows just about the amount of restraint - and indulgence - we have come to expect from the director. Far out. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
