Non Spoiler Alert. If you are not familiar with the Helter Skelter/Charles Manson/Sharon Tate story, read this before watching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson. Or somewhere else.
True Confessions. I am not a huge Quentin Tarrantino fan. I’m not crazy about Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, or Django Unchained. But Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is sensational. It’s a buddy movie featuring Leonardo Dicaprio and Brad Pitt. Leo is an aging actor, who is starring in a cheesy western TV show. Brad Pitt is his stunt double. The entire narrative intersects with the real life (kind of) story of Sharon Tate and Charles Manson, i.e. Helter Skelter. Margot Robbie is fantastic as Sharon Tate, replete with lots of shots of her feet. Indulging QT’s “foot fetish,” as usual. Ending with a spectacular, and I mean spectacular, Tarrantino rewrite of history. If only Tarantino’s version were true….
