Pure and engrossing Cinema

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

Only Scorcese can make a 3.5 hour film that is sweeping, enthralling and totally riveting. Deniro, Pesci and Pacino sit in these roles as comfortable as any actor could. This film still has a dose of Scorsese's neuroticism but also contains a level of patience and examination that feels new for him in this genre. It's a truly epic and heartfelt telling of a brutal story.
