Thank your Marty

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2019)

It's not he best Scorsese film, lets begin with that. Many can argue that 3 and a half hours is an unnecessary length time for this movie, the story could be easily explained in 2 and a half hours. Also I can accept the fact that the CGI looked amazing in some scenes, but disturbing in other ones (I think this technology is incredible and will be improved in the future in benefit of cinema). However, everybody can agree that The Irishman is full of heart. Marty, Al, Bob and Joe left all in there, and we as an audience should be grateful that this guys are still alive and delivering such high level of art. I liked very much the structure of the story, not confusing at all and keeps you hanging until all comes together. I loved the nostalgic ending that Scorsese approach in this one, revealing the human side of Frank Sheeran at his last days, which is something I've never seen on Marty's mob films. And of course I liked the script, cinematography and the beautiful performances. Bob and Joe I hope get nominations, and Al is a secure bet for supporting actor (although Brad Pitt is very good too). All in all, I still think Goodfellas, The Departed and TWOWS are better movies, but The Irishman if for sure in my top five films of this living legend, MARTIN SCORSESE!
