Kelly Reichardt Says Tarantino's ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood' of Being ‘Too Macho'

March 7, 2020 Jordan Ruimy

Director Kelly Reichardt, bless her maverick heart, is one of the great American filmmakers of the last ten years, what with a track record that speaks for itself ("Wendy and Lucy," "Meek's Cutoff," "Certain Woman") and a contemplative, minimalist and distinctive style that is meant to isolate mainstream audiences.

Will Quentin Tarantino Re-Edit ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood' Before Its Release?

June 6, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

By all accounts, Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” was met with a distinctive shrug by the Cannes jury, as the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu-led crew gave the film zero awards during the closing night ceremony. However, American critics seem to really like the movie, judging by its 88 Metascore and a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. And yet, all people seemed to be wanting to talk about, which I refused to cover given how much I loved the film and didn’t want this overshadowing it, was the now-infamous press conference, where Tarantino got visibly upset when someone asked about the film’s “violence against women” and Margot Robbie’s lack of screentime (QT’s now infamous reply “I reject your hypothesis!”).

‘Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood' Review: Tarantino's Latest is Brilliant, Ambitious and Personal Filmmaking —Cannes

May 21, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Quentin Tarantino was just 6 years old and living in Los Angeles when Charles Manson sent his gang of toxified flower children to murder Tate and four others at the home she shared with husband Roman Polanski. At the time of her death, she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant. There is absolutely no chance that Tarantino doesn’t remember that time, even at a young age. The Manson murders are credited as changing the landscape of American society and culture.

April 18, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

This morning’s Cannes press conference had absolutely no surprise at all. 99% of what we predicted would be in competition was, in fact, in competition. The Un Certain Regard selection did have a few surprises, including three American debuts.

Summer Movie Preview: 14 Big-Studio Movies That Could Astonish

April 17, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

As I researched the films that will be splattered on-screen nationwide between late April and August, I found major hope, a real grab-bag of potential big-studio treats. Surprising? Yes, especially considering that I have been critical of the summer movie season the last few years, at least ever since superhero movies changed the way studios greenlit their films. However, this year, there’s actually hope for artistic breakthroughs.

Poster for Quentin Tarantino's upcoming ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'

March 18, 2019 Jordan Ruimy
once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-poster-slice.jpg

The film takes place in 1969 and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Western TV actor that, alongside his trusty stunt double, played by Brad Pitt, is seeing his star fade and tries to keep hold of his crumbling TV career. Oh, and they also live next door to Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) — the film takes place the same year the actress, Roman Polanski’s late wife, was brutally murdered by members of Charlie Manson’s cult.

Quentin Tarantino's ‘Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood’ Has New Photos

January 25, 2019 Jordan Ruimy
Once-Upon-a-Time-In-Hollywood-8-1200x520.jpeg

The questions remains as to exactly what kind of film Quentin Tarantino is making with the upcoming "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood." The film will either be a) an absurdist revisionist genre film like 'Inglourious' and 'Django' or it'll be b) A film grounded in the dark, realist violence of "Reservoir Dogs,"  "Jackie Brown" and "Pulp Fiction." Something tells me it's the latter. QT has even mentioned that '‘Once Upon A Time’ is “probably the closest to ‘Pulp Fiction’ that I have done.”
