Brilliant movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2019)

I was prepared to watch this movie for months now, but it has been released and I started watching the film with as few expectations as possible, and I made sure to not compare it to Goodfellas while watching. I was interested in knowing wether it would be worth a length time of 3 hours and 30 minutes, and it was!
I can list multiple positives about this movie. The acting quality was amazing and it was fantastic to see Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino come together and put hard work in the acting of the film. I was also quite surprised to see Joe Pesci play a different role than what I was expecting from him, but it worked, and in my opinion he played the role at the same quality as he did in his role in Goodfellas.
The historical context was great to see, and the flashbacks were great to see too. The cinematography was thought out perfectly and the film looked accurate for the time it was set. The makeup was not bad and the actors were performing their roles accurate to the age they were supposed to be playing throughout the whole movie. What stood out to me the most was the dialogue, and that is what kept me immersed for the whole duration of the film, I enjoyed it. The sound and lighting were used to add to the experience in a good way too.
I wouldn't be surprised if this film wins at least one Oscar. Martin Scorsese did a great job with directing this movie, just like he did in his other movies.
Don't watch this film expecting to see too many action/gangster moments because this film has the full experience. 9/10 from me!
