Too long!

Rating: 6/10 (28 November 2019)

I feel like Scorsese could have told the story in less than 3.5 hrs. The runtime is too indulgent. I don't get the excitement and hype around this film. On a subject that is probably not that relevant anymore in this day and age. It is boring, I admit, and everyone should at least acknowledge that fact. I do think it is a solid piece of work from Scorsese. He likes his movies long: Silence was 2.45hrs, The Departed was 2.31hrs, The Aviator was 2.50hrs. This is his longest film, and I found myself nodding off in some parts.
