For all the great directing...

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2014)

This is waaaaay too long of a movie to see on a Saturday matinée.
Three hours? C'mon.
Good to great acting, directing from a master, sure, but three hours? I've seen this type of film from Scorcese before. The biopic type of movie, i.e. the Howard Hughes movie. Gorgeous, yes. But I should have known what I was getting in for.
Props to the director for making a story that we already knew the ending to so entertaining. I wouldn't hold out hope for such a movie in the hands of someone else.
Recommended. But not for people who get sore butts.
