This is why you couldn't appreciate it. The Tate murder looms over the whole movie. I was really reluctant to see it knowing how it would end.

The alternate ending was a relief after 2 hours of dreading seeing a pregnant woman getting murdered on screen.

I knew the history and understand some of the complaints.

I enjoyed the movie and thought it was hilarious but Leo's character didn't really have a significant role to the story. I'm actually not even sure how Brad Pitt was nominated for best supporting actor as he was really the main character.
