Rolling Stone Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Review
The first reviews for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood are in and it'due south looking like it will be a hit for Quentin Tarantino.
Tarantino's latest picture is gear up in Los Angeles in the 1960s and follows the lives of fading Hollywood star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Berth (Brad Pitt) as they attempt to stay relevant in a time of corking transition, while also bringing in the real-life story of the Manson Family murder of actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) too.
Early on reactions to the flick from critics were already positive – the Cannes premiere received a standing ovation and over v minutes of applause – and at present that the official reviews are rolling in too, it seems that continuing ovation was warranted.

In fact, the film is currently sitting pretty with an impressive 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, and The Times has even described One time Upon a Time in Hollywood as a "retro bout de force".
Read on for more reviews of Quentin Tarantino's latest pic below.
The Times
"This is a retro tour de force inhabiting a fully realised world of popular culture — TV, movies, pop music and yes, lurid fiction. It'due south full of movies within movies, notably a fictional western in which DiCaprio gives the best actor-playing-an-role player performance since Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive."
Variety
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is not that X Factor moving picture – though for long stretches (a good more than half of it), it feels like it could be. It comes closer than Django Unchained or (God knows) The Mean 8. It's a exciting, engrossing, kaleidoscopic, spectacularly detailed nostalgic splatter collage of a film, an epic tale of backlot Hollywood in 1969, which allows Tarantino to pile on all his obsessions, from drive-ins to donuts, from girls with guns to men with muscle cars and vendettas, from spaghetti Westerns to human foot fetishism.
"Past the end, Tarantino has done something that's quintessentially Tarantino, only that no longer feels even vaguely revolutionary. He has reduced the story he'due south telling to lurid."
Rolling Rock
"[One time Upon a Time in Hollywood] is Tarantino's 9th film, and he claims it will be his next-to-last. If so, he'due south going out with a bang.
"All the actors, in roles large and small, bring their A games to the pic. 2 hours and xl minutes can feel long for some. I wouldn't change a frame. Tarantino laughs at a lot of things in his movies, especially his own jump through genres in films as diverse as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and both volumes of Kill Bill. Just not for a infinitesimal does he simulated his love for the Hollywood of the late Sixties.
"With the help of master cinematographer Robert Richardson, costume designer Arianne Phillips, and editor Fred Raskin, the menses of backlot Hollywood is painstakingly recaptured. You lot can experience Tarantino's mad dearest for movies in all their disreputable dazzle and subversive art in every shot."
Entertainment Weekly
"All directors become who they are because they love movies; though information technology'due south difficult, later on watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, to think of one who loves them more outrageously and obsessively than Quentin Tarantino.
"The 56-year-old's 9th — and then he promises, penultimate — film feels like the sprawling confluence of every last thread in his artistic DNA: lock-jawed Westerns, splattery exploitation, sexual activity, sideburns, Nazis, nihilists, femmes who may or may not exist fatales. It'south shaggy and self-indulgent and nearly scandalously long; and in most every moment, pretty glorious."
The Guardian
"It's shocking, gripping, dazzlingly shot in the celluloid-primary colours of heaven blueish and sunset gold: colours with the warmth that Mama Cass sang about. The Los Angeles of 1969 is recovered with all Tarantino'due south habitual intensity and delirious, hysterical connoisseurship of pop civilization detail. But there'south something new here: not just erotic cinephilia, but Telly-philia, an intense awareness of the pocket-size screen background to everyone's lives.
"Quite simply, I merely defy anyone with red blood in their veins not to respond to the crazy bravura of Tarantino's film-making, not to be bounced around the auditorium at the moment-past-moment enjoyment that this movie delivers – and conversely, of grade, to shudder at the horror and cruelty and its hallucinatory aftermath."
Also every bit Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, the movie's star-studded cast includes Margot Robbie every bit DiCaprio'due south famous neighbour and actress Sharon Tate, Dakota Fanning as Squeaky Fromme, Al Pacino every bit Marvin Shwarz and Damian Lewis equally Steve McQueen.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will arrive in cinemas on July 26 in the US and and then hit UK cinemas on August 14.
