Second best director Oscar for Netflix and Scorsese

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2019)

This is an extraordinary movie, as a thousand other reviews, both professional and amateur have testified.
It has three Oscar worthy performances by the three greats of world cinema who haven't had meatier roles since the last 15 odd years.
It is a labor of love for Scorsese who has wanted to make it for at least a dozen years. Scorsese built on the legacy of the Godfather, in the 70s along with Dr Niro and this is a perfect swansong for the both of them.
It is long (198 minutes of run time), but doesn't feel like it because of the supremely brilliant screenplay that flits across different time lines.
It is amongst the best of this year's and is one of those rare ones that deserve each word of every accolade that is heaped on them.
