Anne Cohen Refinery29 Like most of Tarantino's work, Once Upon A Time in... Hollywood is eliciting very strong emotions on both sides of the spectrum. Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I love this movie... When [director Quentin Tarantino] pulls the ripcord and it goes bananas, it is just so much fun. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review You can feel the love of cinema in it, but I thought it was fantastically ill-disciplined and indulgent and whole blocks of "DVD extras." Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Susanna Norbiato Loud and Clear Reviews It’s an ode to cinema, with all its infinite layers. Rated: 5/5 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) It’s still a Tarantino film at heart, but, through the questions he seems to be asking himself, it feels like it was made by someone who has been shaped by age and experience as well. Rated: 4/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Ryan McQuade InSession Film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood just might be Tarantino's masterpiece. Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Chase D Top 3 or 4 Tarantino movie. Some might want a little more action but i’m not one of those people. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Thomas G What needs to be said Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/22 Full Review Suzanne B For me the characters lacked any real soul--the whole movie felt camp and contrived and dismissive and disrespecting of the real tragedy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/03/20 Full Review Curt S Unnecessary graphic violence detracted from entire story line. Acting was truthfully mediocre and unchallenging for the actors despite multiple awards...totally undeserved! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/07/20 Full Review Ellen G Did not like this movie at all! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/20 Full Review SHERI C Excellent acting by Di Capprio and Pitt. A classic Quentin Tarantino flick. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/20 Full Review Read all reviews
