Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood is Tarantino's most personal project - it took him five years to write it! - and his passion comes through crystal clear, though it occasionally leads to overkill, as some parts were unnecessary or unnecessarily long. Multiple storylines are included and it loses focus at some points.

The movie is great on a technical level, it perfectly captures the atmosphere of the era and the love confession to Hollywood's '60s cinema is nostalgic and accurate, even though I didn't find it as touching or interesting as Scorcese's tribute to early cinema in Hugo.

DiCaprio delivers a great performance with many memorable moments. For example his interaction with the little girl is a delight, while the part where he forgets his lines, followed by a self-deprecating outburst is one for the ages. Pitt and Robbie don't have to do much, the former is effortlessly cool and the latter is surrounded by a mystifying, irresistible aura.

The one thing I definitely didn't like and found highly insulting was the portrayal of Bruce Lee.
