Kelly Reichardt Criticizes ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ For Being Too Macho

etcanada.com:

Filmmaker Kelly Reichardt has called out Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”. According to Reichardt, the movie — which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt in the lead roles — is too macho. “I just don’t understand [macho men] — I don’t get it.

It’s beyond my comprehension,” said Reichardt, speaking to Mel Magazine. She continued: “Like, in ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,’ the idea of the shirtless man on top of the roof — the white man who beats up Bruce Lee, saves the damsel in distress, and sets on fire the ‘scummy hippies’ — I’m just like, ‘Really?’ “People love it, but I don’t understand, especially in the climate we live in, how the macho-man thing just keeps being interesting to anybody.” RELATED: Quentin Tarantino
