While I'm not the greatest Tarantino fan, so far all of his films have been enjoyable to watch. This one not so much.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is centered around an aging actor, his stunt double and a couple of other people working in the movie business. It has no cohesive story line but rather tells some incoherent episodic short stories, that aren't particularly interesting and ultimately lead nowhere. The last couple of minutes feature over the top violence which has become the Trademark of this film maker but it seems unwarranted here and makes as much sense as the rest of this movie (read: none)

My theory is that Tarantino wanted to find out how bad of a movie he can make and still get praised by critics. The answer is: a very, very bad one. I give 3 stars because the actors are great and do their best to make the boring, nonsensical script endurable. Still I'd rather take those two and a half hours of my life back to do something else.
