Watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on the weekend. Guess I'd give it a solid 7.5ish because I just dig Tarantino's style and dialogue and there was some pretty great scenes, but this more than just about any Tarrantino movie (Kill Bill 1/2 possible exceptions) felt like genre fan fiction at times. Like, the whole DiCaprio/Olyphant on set stuff it felt like he'd watched Deadwood recently and just wanted to make a quick cowboy movie with the two of them. I enjoyed it a lot (that was one of the best scenes in the entire movie), but looking at it as an actual "film" it's probably lacking, and felt more like a series of scenes stuck together than it did a cohesive story, even for a Tarantino film.
