Superb, Gentle Story about Gangsters

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2019)

I let this one sit with me and marinate since the day it came out. Watched a few videos that functioned as supplements to understanding what happened, or supported ideas about it. I've always been a fan of Scorsese's films since I saw 'Raging Bull' when I was in high school, then 'Goodfellas', and so on. This is one of his best, and definitely needs the addendum of it being one of his most subtle in style; it's not like a typical viewing of a Scorsese film, and it's almost like a delicate, yet thorough form of storytelling from a completely different approach of his most famous source material. I think it's fantastic, and superb. But I'd reserve "spectacular" for 'Raging Bull' and 'Goodfellas', etc. This isn't glorified, but it is somewhat glorious.
