'Immaculate' film that's 'an ode to cinema' streaming tonight
The 2019 drama stars Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio
A fan favourite Quentin Tarantino film that critics hailed as 'immaculate' is set to air tonight (September 6).
Released in 2019, Once Upon A Time...in Hollywood will air on Channel 4 tonight at 10.10 pm, just in time for your Saturday night viewing.
The star-studded period drama stars Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, both of whom received Oscar nominations for their roles.
Pitt ultimately clinched the award for Best Supporting Actor, but DiCaprio missed out on the Best Lead Actor prize.
The story thrusts viewers back to 1960s Hollywood, where washed-up actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt) try to reclaim their fame.
On their mission, the duo stumble upon interesting characters that capture the spirit of Hollywood's cinematic Golden Age.
Pitt and DiCaprio are joined by Barbie star Margot Robbie, The Substance actor Margaret Qualley, and Oscar winner Al Pacino, among others.
Considering this acclaimed cast and crew, it's no surprise that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was a hit.
The dramedy earned 10 Academy Award nominations, including a nod in the Best Picture category. Tarantino was also pegged for the Best Director prize, but he lost to Bong Joon Ho's Parasite.
Elsewhere, Rotten Tomatoes critics gave the comedy an impressive 86% score, with casual audiences awarding it a less generous 70%.
On the movie-rating website, critics raved about the Tarantino film, with one gushing: "It’s an ode to cinema, with all its infinite layers."
A second shared their own verdict, writing: "This 2019 film is almost immaculate in its direction and in its development of characters, but more so in its cinematography and in its acting."
While a third praised: "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood just might be Tarantino's masterpiece."
Viewers agreed, with one stating: "For me the best Tarantino movie, very emotional, relevant, really a masterpiece!"
And a final fan said: "This movie is still at my #1 in terms of favourites. You get Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and so many others all in one movie with a fantastic story? Count me in, you need to watch it!"
Once Upon a Time....in Hollywood airs on Channel 4 tonight at 10.10pm
