One Big Snorefest

Rating: 2/10 (14 January 2020)

I'm a huge admirer of Martin Scorsese, and I love the chapter in Gary Olsen's brilliant book on film directors "The 15 Geniuses Behind The Lens." Everything I learned about Scorsese is in Olsen's book. But this is not Scorsese's best. It's not even close.
I think all these accolade awards serve as a homage to the body of work he has produced in his life--although The Daparted was supposed to fulfill that requirement. This probable last entry to Scorsese's career is too long, too slow, too old, and too worn. I felt like I was at a funeral watching all the tributes unfolding before my eyes. Sorry Martin, but maybe short subjects should be your new hobby so that you'll put more effort into creating some of the masterpieces you were known to direct in the past.
