Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is just ok. Sets, costumes, photography, sound, performances all great. Saw it in 70mm, as a thing to look at it was fantastic. But it's just kind of...a nostalgic paean to an era and place the filmmaker didn't live through/in. So it's a bunch of movie references on movie references on movie references. A bit frenetic at time for a Tarantino, lacking those great long scenes of dialogue that are his hallmark. Also Lena Dunham is in it for some reason. The [expletive] is up with that?

In another life, Lena Dunham would have totally been a manson girl.

I walked out of that movie a little confused by how I felt. For some reason the fantasy revisionist history didn't play as well with a such a personal story like Sharon Tate's murder as it did with WW2. I think I loved the movie as something to watch to pass a couple hours watching fun performances, but it's certainly a tad too self indulgent, which is always a fine line with Tarantino.

It's not violent until the end when it becomes incredibly brutal. It might be shocking for her to watch Brad Pitt cave in a young woman's skull on a hard surface.

Yeah, it's probably the least violent Tarantino movie outside Jackie Brown, which IIRC has some death-by-gun but some pretty routine stuff nowadays. But the one violent scene is pretty brutal, my wife didn't care much for it.

...though in relation to his last movie, which I deplored and which I thought did a great job of finding excuses to use Jennifer Jason Leigh as a punching bag for macho dudes and didn't do a good enough job paying off the end or empowering her character enough to justify that, this was a fairly non-violent laid back enjoyable movie to watch for a few hours.
