Trivia
The producers had some initial difficulties convincing Hollywood Boulevard vendors to allow their premises to be fitted with period facades to better reflect the 1960s. However, after the production wrapped that section of the shoot, most of these same people asked if they could leave the facades in place, since they now much more preferred that period 'look.'

Goofs
When Sharon Tate was talking to the girl at the box office of the movie theater in Westwood, you can see the Starbucks sign for half the scene before it was covered up. Starbucks was founded in 1971.

Quotes
Jay Sebring: Is everybody okay?
Rick Dalton: Well... the fuckin' hippies aren't. That's for goddamn sure.

Crazy credits
Like Django Unchained (2012), the film opens with the late 1960's Columbia Pictures logo.

Alternate versions
In the teaser trailer and the next 2 theatrical trailers some shots from deleted scenes are shown.
Cliff Booth see Charles Manson walking away from Sharon Tate's house. Both exchange looks. Charlie initially greets Cliff, later Charlie grunts at him.
Sharon Tate dancing in a black dress in a moving stage.
Mr. Schwarz salutes the projectionist before entering the projection room.
Sharon Tate swimming in her pool.

Featured review

6/10

Longer than it needed to be (and not in a good way)

This is a tricky one. The acting is superb trhoughout. DiCaprio does himself proud, as does Pitt. It's shot well, it's incredibly nostalgic, but I can't help feel it's missing something. The last 30 mins are ace - that's where the positive reviews are kept. Tarintino does what he does best in that last half hour. It's a shame it took two hours to get there. More time developing the final storyline and less nostalgia would probably have led to a better experience. Or tell the same story in 90 minutes. The soundtrack was ace - pure sixties.

All in all, go see it, but go for a wee first.
