Not for everyone, but 3.5 hours worth the watch. Brilliant film.

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2019)

I keep coming back to the movie every now and then since the time I watched. That says something. In my opinion, very well done. Not for everyone? Maybe, but you can't oversee scorcesse's touches all over the film. From the soundtracks to the cinematography, crane shots and much more gives this film an experience like no other.
The acting is subjective however. Some may find it over the top, some may find it awesome, and some may find it interesting, but nevertheless, these are world class actors so there performances are appreciated. The one that stands out for me was Joe Pesci. Believe what is being said about him. I don't think this movie would've the same effect if he wasn't in it.
I personally didn't feel the 3.5 hours pass by and again that says something about how invested I was in the story and how to flow of the movie carried that dramatic interest from star to finish.
The irishman will have some buzz at the academy awards that's for sure, might even win best picture or best director, but regardless it is a fun and interesting gangster movie that will stand it's place in time. I highly recommend it.
