Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Its alternate ending to real-life events is meant to be controversial, but for me, it’s a vision of how everything should have happened if the world was fair or, indeed, a fairy tale… in Hollywood.

For film nerds like myself, watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is like being treated to a tour through the cinematic theme park that is Tarantino’s mind.

When [Sharon] Tate dances to Paul Revere and the Raiders, that's all we see: a woman dancing. If his cheery take on the actress has a lot of fantasy in it, that fairytale aspect is right there in the title: "Once Upon a Time…"

Not groundbreaking Tarantino, but it’s a fun trip back through time with real heart and likeable characters. Allow yourself to sink into its world and you’ll be rewarded with good tunes, laugh-out-loud jokes and moments of exhilaration.

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood could have benefited much more had it taken a different approach.
