The only thing that I can come up with is that it's basically a love story. As close as QT's gonna to ever make, and it has a bittersweet ending unlike most love stories do. People don't like that. And it wasn't as tried and true back then, realistic endings

Saw this one over the Christmas holidays and thought it was pretty good. As far as Tarantino movies go I'd rate it:
1. Reservoir Dogs 2. Inglorious Bastards 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . . . The rest with the Kill Bill duo fighting for scraps at the bottom of the barrel. This film would have made the perfect summer pop corn flick at a drive-in with the sunny Hollywood vibe and soundtrack. 7.5 overall. Last edited by Otter; 12-26-2019 at 01:45 PM.. |

I think Tarantino must have a foot fetish- Bridget Fonda'a feet in Jackie Brown and plenty of dirty foot action in his latest. |

Pulp was phenomenal.
The others are really meh. What exactly is his schtick? Making historical movies with slapstick endings? Once Upon is ok (rented it the other day) but realllly slow the first hour and the ending is more humorous than serious art. |

Lots of honest and legit takes on this, everyone’s entitled to see art as they wish
Championing his more far out fare is fine, they’re arguably his best works... but there’s something to be said for his more grounded works like Jackie Brown, Once Upon, even going back to his incredible True Romance script He does realistic crime as well as anyone... Cliff Booth/Ordell Robbie types will always be more interesting to me than Pai Mei and Beatrix Kiddo |

Quentin Tarantino Says He Might Write A ‘Once Upon A Time’ Novelization
Quentin Tarantino’s Oscar-nominated “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” has been available for months now. But that doesn’t mean fans and the filmmaker, especially, are done talking about it. In fact, Tarantino is talking about how he may revisit the story for a new project, completely separate from the “Bounty Law” series that he wants to direct. He’s talking about expanding the ‘Once Upon a Time’ story into the world of the printed page. Speaking on the Pure Cinema Podcast (via IndieWire), Tarantino briefly mentioned a new project that he’s been thinking about, which also ties back into his most recent feature. “I hadn’t thought about that until recently. But now I’m thinking a lot about it. I might be writing a novelization to ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,’” the filmmaker said. Obviously, as we’ve seen with other novelizations of films (cough ‘Rise of Skywalker’ cough), the expanded page count allows for a filmmaker to delve a bit deeper into the characters and plot of his film. And considering we know that there are tons of deleted scenes that didn’t make the final cut of the film (but maybe could make it on Netflix), there is a lot of material that Tarantino has lying around that could make for the definitive story of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Another interesting aspect of this proposed novelization is how the filmmaker would actually be involved in the writing. Often, as with just about every other novelization of a feature film, a third-party writer is hired to take the story and expand on it for the paperback edition. It’s incredibly rare to see a filmmaker actually take the idea of a novelization and use it for his own means of expanding the story. |

Watched this 4 times in the last 8 days on Starz, and love it more every time... none of them were ever more believable

I kept waiting for the movie to start and an hour in I realized this was it. Some old-school Hollywood homages, Decaprio crying every now and then, Pitt being Pitt, and repeat. The vintage cars were cool and the Bruce Lee scene was funny. Other than that it was Decaprio and Pitt and I never forgot that’s who I was watching. Not the usual characters Tarantino creates. Seemed to go on forever. 2 hours in I got a phone call and haven’t gone back. Just don’t care. Props to those of you who got something out of it. It’s last on my Tarantino list and I’m a big fan of his, Decaprio’s, and Pitt’s work. |
