A movie with so much critical acclaim, left me a bit disappointed after the credits rolled. Don't get me wrong, the movie has a lot of positives. Fantastic style and filmography transport you back in time to Hollywood in the 60s. The attention to detail and outstanding acting performances from the entire cast really made me want to love this film. However, the story told never really seemed to get going. It's a 2+ hour movie that, storywise, takes you nowhere. There's no real objective or payoff. Just aimless scene after aimless scene, some of which don't make much sense on why they were included. The movie succeeds in almost every way, except a compelling story.
