First critic reviews for Scorsese’s THE IRISHMAN

Earvin Infinity · Oct 1, 2019

Irishman (100%)
Parasite (100%)
Marriage Story (100%)
Knives Out (99%)
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (96%)
Uncut Gems (95%)
Lighthouse (94%)

I said hot damn. The rest of the year is looking fantastic.

duckroll · Oct 1, 2019

This makes me soooooo excited to watch it. Lol.

Sabretooth · Oct 1, 2019

This movie is at my local film festival this month, for which I am a delegate. I kind of want to see what all the hype is about, but the movie is listed at a whopping 209 minutes long. I don't think I've the stamina to be sitting in a theatre for that long.

bye · Oct 1, 2019

yeah at 210 min I think I'd have to wait for streaming anyway

duckroll · Oct 1, 2019

Wait it's 3 and a half hours long? For real? Lol.

Yes, it says so on the IMDB as well. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1302006/

duckroll · Oct 1, 2019

Wow. Netflix power. Haha. No way that would be the final cut if it was a theatrical only release.

I'm still hoping for a 4K UHD release. :/

its no Godfather

No but to be fair, The Godfather was a good film in its own right.
Just nowhere near the level of Goodfellas.

Just found out this won't open where I live. Fuck everyone who supports this fucking bullshit.

Scullibundo · Oct 10, 2019

I have my tickets to a limited run screening on November 9th here in Sydney.

This is still sitting on 100% after 63 reviews now.

The king is back

When was his last bad movie? I honestly can't think of one right now.

Chumunga64 · Oct 10, 2019

finally! waiting for this for a while

His last movie is one of the best films of the decade. I think the last film he made that I was underwhelmed by was Gangs.

Gangs of New York and Shutter Island were the worst movies he made this century but even those had a lot to like in there i think

For me, this is the reason I want to be in theaters to watch it. Too much shit can happen at home in 210 minutes.

Shutter Island is a good movie though. Too many people consider the twist being entirely predictable a reason for the movie being bad, like its quality hinges on the twist. Gangs I will give you.

I'm about to say, both of those are still largely positively received, so even his worst movies are just good instead of great.

His last bad movie was in 1972.

Not everything he's made has been GREAT, since then. But yeah - he's fucking brill.

DOT_mjo · Oct 10, 2019

The GOAT delivered like Jordan or Brady.

rrc1594 · Oct 10, 2019

Watching Goodfellas right now

FaceHugger · Oct 10, 2019

Figured it was going to be a good movie.

Something Creative · Oct 10, 2019

When do we find out which theatres will be showing it in November? I doubt I'll be able to see it but would be fun to try

dark_prinny · Oct 10, 2019

Me and my wife ( both hardcore Scorsese fans ) ER going to enjoy this film so much. It's going to be something very special.

I think Gangs is bad but it's probably his only misfire of the last like 20 years.

It's insane that a guy with a career as long and accomplished as Scorsese's -- 50 years in, 70-something years old -- can still turn out a career-best like Silence.

Boxcar Bertha? That movie really is shit lol. I watched it a couple summers ago when I was on a Corman trip and it's not even worth watching on that level.

wait of fucking minutes, i LOVED those movies, i straight up adore shutter island

what the hell are y'all talking about?

TheMan · Oct 10, 2019

I was skeptical. Guess I shouldn't have doubted one of the masters

Moppeh · Oct 10, 2019

Gangs of New York is straight up garbage. DDL is great but the rest of it blows.

Heromanz · Oct 10, 2019

Gangs is not good

Yeah I liked Shutter Island. Underrated imo. There's more to the film than the twist.

lmcfigs · Oct 10, 2019

Gangs of New York is a horrible movie. lol I have no idea what went wrong w/ it.

definitely his weakest film.

underrated scorcesse film is the one he did w/ nick cage. Bringing out the Dead. No one talks about it!

edit: I understand that I am in the minority of people who disliked Gangs of New York. it has a pretty good critical reception and i could not tell you why. it's so goofy.

He has an incredible record though. no denying it. Silence was one of the greatest films I have ever seen.

jett · Oct 10, 2019

Really sucks that the stream release is so far away. I don't give two fucks about a theatrical release.

I wouldn't say it's garbage but it's my least fav scorsese film

Count of Monte Sawed-Off · Oct 10, 2019

I kind of like Gangs of New York. It's a mess and ultimately doesn't really work, but it has some good moments. I like it more than the Departed which just never really did it for me.

wyndhamprice · Oct 10, 2019

Gangs is definitely bloated but I love it anyway.

master15 · Oct 10, 2019

Where can I find out if there will be any theatrical showings in Vancouver, Canada? Want to watch on big screen.

ThousandEyes · Oct 12, 2019

From the reviews it seems like this movie is more ambitious in terms of scale than Goodfellas and Casino.

its surprising that it took so long for Marty to work with Al

Wait of!? MinuteS!?

Gangs is very overrated. Besides some entertaining scenery chewing by DDL and a few others it's just goofy. It could have been much better.
Shutter island is MUCH better and underrated. Not one of his most ambitious movies, but it has great acting, atmosphere and is a great watch. What more do you need?

Soliloquy of a Dogge · Oct 12, 2019

Netflix just ain't playing around anymore.

ThousandEyes · Oct 12, 2019

The Departed is a great film as well, i don't care if "internal affairs is better" its still a fun film

Sordid Plebeian · Oct 12, 2019

Honestly was not expecting it to be doing this well

ThousandEyes · Oct 12, 2019

are they going to explain

how an irish american is able to work with the italian mob, i always thought you had to be 100 percent italian/sicillian

you have to be 100% to be "made". Goodfellas explains this. Pesci is the only one who can become a made guy, but Liotta (half Irish/half Italian) and DeNiro (irish) can workwith them and be a part of a crew/

that's right..i havn't seen goodfellas in a long time, sorry.. i forgot about that

now did being a made man give you privileges that associates didn't have or was it just really a title

dont know specifics but being made meant you were "in" and for the most part untouchable. Ironically it's why Pesci gets killed in Goodfellas. Despite being an earner he killed a made guy without permission, so he had to go.

"it was among the italians it was real greaseball shit"

Yeah, you get special treatment. The entire Mafia backs you and protects you. Again, in Goodfellas, this is why the killing of Billy Batts is such a big deal because he's a made guy and Pesci, De Niro, and Liotta aren't.

was there a reason deniro and liotta were spared though?

ThousandEyes · Oct 14, 2019

just want to update that 11 reviews have been added to RT from 63 to 74

and its still rocking that 100 percent, all the reviews tend to be glowing saying this is a masterpiece..this really well could be Scorsese's most acclaimed film since Goodfellas
