Scorsese's best since Goodfellas

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

Full of that rich, slick yet subtle sense of menace that Scorsese is so good at, wonderfully detailed and visually period-on-point.
At 3.5 hours the film still moves at a comfortable and constant pace. Where in past Scorsese has relied a bit too heavily on voice-over, he lets this story play out in action and visual story telling, which contributes to the length, but the film bears it easily.
Both De Niro and Pesci give great performances, aging so convincingly with their acting (and great makeup.) De Niro is stellar in his phone call to the widow, stammering and stumbling through his guilt. Great dialog all around... the conversation about the fish is hilarious. Special mention to Ray Romano, who will hopefully do more serious roles.
