Some nice comments from Brad about Leo during today's press conference

 

Pitt is praising DiCaprio’s very funny crisis-of-confidence sequences: “Some of the greatest breakdown scenes I’ve ever seen, by my friend Leo here”

Tarantino gave Brad & Leo a “bible” with backstory on their characters’ long friendship. “When Quentin puts us in these improvised scenarios, we have a great foothold on our characters.” Brad on Leo: “It’s that thing of knowing you’ve got the best of the best on the other side.”

For me it's simple: Most of Leos perfomances are called as "the greatest perfomance of his career" so it's likely nothing really new, but if someone like Brad Pitt (solid actor I would say) is giving a suberb performance of course it's something special. So I'm ok with that :p:D

Time loves the movie :heart:

 

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Is One of Quentin Tarantino's Most Affectionate Films. It's Also One of His Best

(...)

Pitt and DiCaprio are marvelous together, and though neither are what any of us should call “old,” their faces, once as flawless as airbrushed high-school portraits, have now achieved a more weathered perfection. DiCaprio’s Rick looks mischievously boyish, though you can’t help noticing the tiny crow’s feet marking the skin around his eyes, etched there by dried-up work and dwindling bank accounts—there’s an alluring, Robert Ryan-style weariness about him. And Pitt is superb, striding through the movie with the offhanded confidence of a mountain lion who knows his turf. This is swagger freed from self-consciousness; Cliff was groovy before the word was invented.
 
But Once Upon a Time in Hollywood really belongs to one person, a figure who gets less screen time than either of the male leads but who fills the movie with light even so. Margot Robbie plays Sharon Tate, and in the movie’s most stunning sequence—set sometime in February 1969—she comes upon a theater, the Bruin, that’s showing her most recent film, The Wrecking Crew, one of those absurd Matt Helm spy joints starring Dean Martin. She goes up to the box-office booth to buy a ticket—and then it occurs to her that if she explains to the ticket girl that she’s actually in the film, she might be able to get in for free.
 
It works! She slips on a pair of oversized, owlish eyeglasses and sits down to watch her own image flash on the screen. There’s no vanity or self-congratulation in her expression, only curiosity and an almost mystical kind of fascination, as if she were observing a deer in the forest. She waits to see if the audience laughs at one of her funnier lines—they do. She mimics the martial-arts movies her character executes on-screen, her hands slashing and dipping through the air, her muscles remembering what it was like to learn the routine. Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate is watching, as we are, the real-life Sharon Tate playing a character in a movie. But for us, the two have blended into one person, a young woman, recently married—does she even yet know she’s pregnant?—who has everything to look forward to. In real life, no one could save Sharon Tate. With Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino and Robbie restore life to her. The magic spell lasts only a few hours. But no one has ever brought her closer to a happily ever after.
