Anything but, "long, slow, and boring".

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2020)

I don't generally write reviews on films that are so hyped, but I feel like this is such a well designed piece of art, that I had to day something.
The Irishman is a long film.
The Irishman is a historical character study.
The Irishman is filled with stellar accomplishments of the arts encompassed in film: actor, cinematography, production design, everything is working at a very high level.
But, it's not an action film, it's not a thrill ride pace in the way that some Scorsese films are. It is the work of long time masters, and may not be your bag if you prefer faster kicks. But, to try and deny this film it's artistic due, because it is not to your tastes is...hilarious to me.
