Noice

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2020)

Really, really long. Like, 3h30 long. Pretty complex: There's a lot of characters, and it's not always clear what's going on where. This seriously bothered my friend Dan who watched it with me, but for me, the main character, the Irishman (played by Robert De Niro), is pretty easy to follow throughout. I enjoyed the film for all the usual reasons, but I must admit it's nice to see Joe Pesci in roles aside from Home Alone. Update: my buddy thought the cinematography was awful, so that's interesting.
Some of the 'usual reasons' that I didn't specify previously:
-cinematography
-performances
-script/story progression
-p editing and pacing (for a 3h30 movie, it was bound to get a little hectic, so overall I'm glad it's not worse.
I wonder if the CGI young R. De Niro only bothered me because I was told about it, and so I was incredibly fixated on scrutinising it. In any case, objectively, it was well done.
