Not sure about the self-reference to Inglourious Basterds.

Pitt seems to have really brought it for this, much more so than Leo (who looks good, make no mistake) and this trailer feels like its owning that.
Looks like an absolute blast.

To be completely honest I'm not yet sure what to make of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Need to let this one marinate, don't have an instant reaction. Most of the film is pretty good, I'm having fun watching them play around in late 60s Hollywood. Then the finale is HOLY FUCK.

PremiereReview once upon a time in Hollywood: the most enjoyable and cerebral Tarantino for some time Brad Pitt steals show as stuntman. Might need some tightening up in the February sequence in the edit before release but the August pay off is huge

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Tarantino lays a gaudy, explosive counter-culture circus. DiCaprio & (especially) Pitt terrific value under the lights, while evil scurries in the shadows. Some, um, third-act issues but the film's highs are electric

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD: Like a lot of recent Tarantino, this is baggy, self-indulgent, fascinatingly its own thing and ambitiously conceived. Of course it’s accomplished, sometimes dazzlingly so, but it ends up being as hit-or-miss as his last few.

Quentin Tarantino’s brilliant exploitation black-comedy Once Upon A Time In Hollywood finds a pulp-fictionally redemptive take on the Manson nightmare: shocking, gripping, dazzlingly shot in the celluloid-primary colours of sky blue and sunset gold. Review later

#OnceUponATimeInHollywood: Quentin Tarantino wants to tell us a story about Hollywood life at the time of the Manson Family slayings of '69, and man, does he ever, going from awestruck to WTF. Brad Pitt the standout, his coolest role yet.

ONCE UPON A TIME... IN HOLLYWOOD is absurdly baggy and often careless in its treatment of people who deserve better. But individual scenes zing like nobody's business and the ambience is delicious. A significant improvement on HATEFUL EIGHT.

Well reactions are better than I expected from Cannes, bodes well. DiCaprio and Pitt getting great reactions with some saying Pitt is the scene stealer. One huge rave for Margot too. There’s a lot more much more positive reactions I’m too lazy to post, will wait for reviews.
Guardian and Telegraph both 5/5 stars
Slashfilm 9.5/10 calls it a masterwork and best work of Pitt and
DiCaprio’s careers.
