‘Once Up on A Time in Hollywood’, I couldn’t think of a much better title for this post than the actual name of the movie…. Even though story revolves around the evergreen actress Sharon Tate and her murder, the movie is more than that. Margot Robbie has always amazed the audience with her talented acting and has portrayed the actress Sharon Tate ,creating a slight doubt in the audience’s mind whether it was really the actress herself.

Leonardo Di Caprio the legend of Hollywood was successful in portraying the fictionary actor ‘Rick Dalton’ in the movie. The character sets an example of life of actors in the glamorous Hollywood…the outside glam is just a show off to the world while the talented actors struggle inside for getting a better role.

Brad Pitt once again stunned his fans with one of the best roles in his career. ‘Cliff Booth’ the stunt double has got a better chance to drive the movie than the other central characters. Not to miss his fearsome Bull Dog.

The movie is visual experience. A full on Quintin Tarantino spell will enchant the audience and take us to the good old Hollywood. Grab a popcorn and play the movie…coz its a never miss one.
