"That was the best acting I've ever seen in my whole life."

Set in Los Angeles in 1969, at the the height of hippy Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino's ninth feature film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (2019) was nominated for a slew of Oscars, and ended up with a win for Brad Pitt (Best Supporting Actor).

Ostensibly an old school buddy movie (that somehow, easily and effortlessly, manages to elevate "the female gaze"), the film revolves around the personal and professional relationship between Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don't recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor... Sharon Tate. With Margot Robbie, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, Emile Hirsch, Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, Al Pacino.

"Bolstered by strong performances and immersive production design, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is an introspective and rewarding film from Tarantino." (Screen Rant)

"The filmmaker may be on a mission to get everything right about 1969, down to the sounds and smells, but he's also inviting us to smoke a little wrongness." (New Yorker)

"You might say Tarantino's oeuvre is a box of chocolates: Some of them are more bitter and unpleasant than others, but they're all still chocolate. 'Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood' might be the tastiest one in the box." (NPR)
