Ratings:.3.5/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site: News18
Yet, all said and done, Once Upon a Time€¦in Hollywood is a violent, often funny, but always heartfelt valentine to a specific time and place. Robert Richardsons artful photography, the evocative production design, and fleeting appearances by legendary characters of the day transport you to a bygone era of Hollywood glamour that proves hard to resist. The film may not be Tarantinos best, but its a laidback, change-of-pace offering that delivers many unexpected pleasures.Im going with three-and-a-half out of five.

The film ends with a burst of violence that is almost cartoonish. Like in Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, Tarantino is once again, tweaking history. But you need to know that history to get what the director is trying to do here. My suggestion is do a little homework before you see the film read up on what happened. And go in ready to be transported to late 60s Hollywood. This film is a revisionist fairy tale and a time machine. Its a slow burn thats worth it. One more suggestion prepare to willfully ignore the warnings about smoking and psychotropic drugs. A lot of characters are smoking so those warnings are practically in every frame and they really mess with your movie experience.

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Neil Soans Site: Times Of India
Most of the film serves as an ode to Hollywood and the classic era of television and movies. It often comes across as indulgent; as if Tarantino is merely focused on showcasing his directorial skills, rather than telling a complete story. But hes able to create such compelling characters with immersive journeys that it eventually doesnt matter if many scenes could have edited out without any impact on the narrative. Despite their eventual relevance, it’s impossible to imagine the film without them. So, there are a lot of instances when the film will test your patience, and make you wonder where is this all going? Thankfully, the director doesnt hold back in the climax and allows pieces of the puzzle to come together in a spectacular finish.

Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Rohan Site: Hindustan Times
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a solid yet surprising addition to director Quentin Tarantinos singular filmography – a languid and laid-back mood piece that doubles as a throwback to the filmmakers lifelong obsessions, and ends with one of the most controversial sequences of his career. Despite being fully prepared for what was in store, I was taken aback by how many surprises Tarantino had in store.

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Shalini Site: Indian Express
Tarantinos craft lies, of course, in spotting that stardust €” whether it is in two people talking across a table, in a girl and a boy on an evening in war-torn Paris, in a Nazi officer holding forth on the delights of cream and apple strudel, in the neon signs of Los Angeles markers that come on here marking yet another starry night, and especially in rewriting a real Hollywood story.Doesnt the title say it all? Its Tarantinos ode to Sergio Leone and his spaghetti westerns. It also hints at fairytales of another kind €” the ones dreamt of, scripted, and turned alive in this city of dreams. And we can all do with a fairytale.
