Bittersweet

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2019)

Bittersweet because the film feels like a closing moment for Scorsese, De Niro & Pesci and the end of classic mob portrayals from the Goodfella days. I'm sure there will be more period films depicting that era, but I feel like they will never be able to capture what Scorsese accomplished. Anyways, if you enjoy Scorsese gangster collaborations in the vein of Goodfellas I'm sure that you will dig The Irishman. But be prepared to spend the entire evening doing so, as this film runs long and covers a 60+ year timespan.
