Some will say that this is an over long film that lacks a plot, and without some knowledge of the Tate-LaBianca murders I can see why that may be the case.
But, if you understand the backdrop you will realise Tarantino brilliantly uses the first 2 hours of the movie to lay the foundations to a big question - what if Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkel (the 3 who committed the murders in real life) went to the wrong house?
What if they stumbled across characters like Rick (DeCaprio) and Cliff (Pitt) on that fateful night instead?
The answer is a compelling, funny and moving last 30 minutes of the film.
The cinematography and acting is also top class.
