Scorsese's Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2018)

This is probably one of the few perfect movies I've ever seen. My boyfriend isn't as much of a fan since he thinks it's too long, but I don't think this story would work if narrative corners were cut to save time. Every little detail matters in this film, and I can't think of a scene in the film that didn't propel the narrative forward. It's not long for the sake of being long, it's long because it's the only way this movie could have worked.
The whole cast is amazing in this, but I really want to shoutout Martin Scorsese because this is possibly his magnum opus and it deserved more appreciation at award season than it was given. There won't ever be another director like him, he's simply the best.
