The Scorsese portion is engaging, the Woody Allen portion is funny, and the Coppola portion would turn even the CEO of Goldman Sachs or Rush Limbaugh into fire-breathing Communists.

Scorsese's is the only reason to watch it really. Coppola's is just bad all out. Allen's is funny but I think the premise is worn thin…

Go ahead and skip through the middle coppola section. the scorsese part is the main feature…

Scorcese: 6/10 it's good but hindered by not feeling real coppola: 2/10 which is sadly even worse than his par after the 70s allen: 7.5/10…

Nice film, the first two stories are a bit slow, but the third is classic Allen…

100% skippable. Even the good parts are irrelevant. The actors all do an excellent job, but the material in all 3 stories is weak…

The Scorsese and Allen segments are solid - but the middle segment by FF Coppola is a mediocre kids movie that doesn't fit in at all with the others…

Scorsese's segment is awesome, Coppola's is fucking terrible, and Allen's is just kinda there…

I don't know why people are so hard on Francis…
