Finally seeing it tonight, it was hard to read this thread and not click on the spoilers, but Im pretty bumped with all the positives you guys are posting.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
It is, unsurprisingly, a masterpiece.
My first instinct is that

QT in a recent interview seems to not consider it one.
Just came back from seeing this. Such a wonderful film! The third act was fantastic and Im actually glad he did it the way he did.
But the best thing was that the theater manager screened the Tenet teaser for me. Here in our small old school theater in Slovakia! Unbelievable! LOL Nolan in front of QT, what more could I ask for? Cherry on top of tonights film for sure!

Oh boy, do I have a lot to say. Might have to sit on it for a while first, let it all settle down.
First of all, surprisingly, DiCap was my fave. Loved his portrayal of a washed out has been Rick Dalton. Pitt, on top of his majestic charisma, has a more favorable character to play with, DiCap has to be a fucking loser most of the time and it’s so good to see such a magnificent actor give it all like that, mad respect!
Margot Robbie? Hmmmm... Isn’t that the question of the day. I had a pleasure to watch this with three persons very much close to me, with various knowledge of the subject at hand, and I believe Tarantino definitely failed in, at least, one segment here.
Would the movie work without her? Sorry but nope.
Couldn’t she be better integrated in the whole narrative? Oh, very much so.
Now, look, this is still a QT movie and of course we talked about it extensively driving back home and I do believe there’s plenty of precious here and I did like (even love) many segments. Didn’t even feel the length like my co-audience.
But I still believe some of the narrative joints could’ve been better ‘stitched together’, especially in regards to Mrs.Tate.
On the positive side, it feels constantly lived in, alive, more natural than perhaps ever before in a QT movie... and goddamn it did I love the main duo! Give us a whole Netflix series about those two!
I’m going to stop here because it’s too late here and I might say more (and better structured) tomorrow, but I’ll add just one more thing.
But god damn it, did it feel sour in my mouth still.
Maybe that was the whole point? Catharsis, but with a shortest charge ever.
It’s not perfect QT, not the best. I’d put it in the middle. Basterds, Pulp and Kill Bill still the best.
4 and a half feet out of five. *I was debating four, but have you seen that scene in the theatre?

Surprised DiCaprio was your fave. What a duo it was though, surpassed absurdly high expectations in that regard. Rick fucking Dalton! Did you stay for the after credits bit?

No, I didn’t explain it in detail because I’m still internally debating the way he did it, not what he did, cause I totally knew he’d do something like that.
Spoiler alert even though spoiler tag is coming...
Hopefully I managed to get my feelings right here.
Edit: allstar, didn’t know there was one!
With all due respect, I don't think I could disagree more.
