Very mild spoilers ahead .... Let me preface this review by saying that some Tarantino movies belong on my all time list (pulp Fiction, inglorious basterds, kill bill) and some just weren't my cup of tea (death proof, django unchained).

This movie mostly follows a soon to be a has been actor during a day of his life with his stuntman in an era where the people stopped going to the theaters and started watching TV instead. A shift occurred back then just like today with streaming services.

Tarantino reminisces through DiCaprio's character his issues of how the industry is changing and how he himself is now almost at the end of his journey.

So, the allegory of the movie seems clear. The dialogue is great. Camera work and direction are superb - especially when Brad Pitt visits the desert. The acting is top notch.

However, even though there is a plot to follow with a substantial climax, the movie itself didn't get anywhere for me. The grand finale was, though very entertaining, for me at least, quite meaningless considering the story of the two main characters. Instead it feels more like a movie intended for Quentin himself. Everything he did in this movie hes done already in a movie before (actors, locations, camera angles).

This movie is a nice loveletter to Hollywood and is supposed to sum up Tarantino's career. However, it just ended nowhere and therefore is, I guess, only intended for the people in and around Hollywood.
