A Masterclass in Filmmaking.

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2020)

A masterclass in filmmaking. Scorsese hits all the bases like he wrote the rules of the game. If you are a little concerned about starting a movie that is 3 hours and 29 minutes long (as I was) I can only tell you that it is worth the time. The cast is spectacular as are the performances. Scenes were given time to breathe and find their own internal tensions, yet, there was no lag that would lose the audience. The storytelling doesn't let you down. The attention to detail is noteworthy. This movie is worthy of it's accolades and awards. I rate this film a 9 (superb) out of 10. {Historical Crime Drama}
