Don't believe the negative reviews. It's ridiculous. This is a masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2019)

This is an absolutely brilliant film. It has many of the common elements of a Scorsese classic; Great story, great screenplay; great characters; great flow and three incredible performances by Pacino, Pesci and DeNiro. Yes this is a long film, so what? It is an engrossing story and Scorsese tells no more or no less than what needs to be shown.And by the end of the movie there is a larger message that has been conveyed to the audience.
I've watched the film twice (once in the theatres and once on Netflix). There is so much to say about this film. But first and foremost the acting is amazing. You have two of the greatest actors of our time (Pacino and DeNiro) giving two of the greatest performances of their careers. And Joe Pesci (back from retirement) is also wonderful in a dark and subdued role as a mob boss.
And no the digital de-aging is not a distraction at all. It works perfectly because these actors have the ability to pull it off. And of course all praise to the greatest director in the history of film-making Marty Scorsese. It's been said this may be a swan-song to all his crime dramas. If so what a way to go out.
I predict the movie will be nominated for at least 5 Academy Awards; Best Picture, Best Director; Best Actor-DeNiro, Best Supporting Actor-Pacino (this could also be a best actor category) and Best Film Editing. And it might also get a nod for special effects for the digital de-aging. Go watch it.
