July closes out with the latest from Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The ninth film from Quentin Tarantino follows 60 TV star Rick Dalton and his stuntman, Cliff Booth, as they try to break into movies in 1969 Hollywood and possibly get drawn into the orbit of the notorious Charles Manson and his followers.
