Review of The Irishman (2019) by Navybean — 18 Nov 2019

If you're expecting Goodfellas or Mean Streets you're in the wrong decade. This is a much more reflective, symbolic and contemplative film than any of Scorsese's previous mob films. It's quite the ride to watch these legendary performers play roles that seem to fit them like a five fingered glove.

I do have a couple small peeves, I don't know that calling someone "you people" as a slur was a thing in the era it's supposedly used. And then there's a whole fish conversation that seems long, unnecessary and improvised in a bad way.
