But it pales in comparison to the absolute brilliance of "Pulp Fiction". That was an amazing movie on so many different levels.

The reason I am down on "Once Upon a time in Hollywood" is that it tries to turn a gruesome, awful reality into a fairy tale. If it didn't really happen in all the awfulness that the Manson Family brought into 1969 LA, it might have worked.

However, nothing can remove the horrific reality of what happened because of these maniacs in Summer 1969, no matter what the willing suspension of disbelief might require.
