Review of The Irishman (2019) by Olivierpiel — 29 Nov 2019

Very sad to see Scorsese, De Niro and Pacino go under in this meandering, bloated, repetitive mess of a film. At least Pesci is touching as one knows this is the end of his (not his character).

And that is the point: We watch these 3.5 hrs out of nostalgia. We are not watching a film, but some old friends reminding us of what they were, and which will disappear soon. It has a very wretched depressing Quixotic feel...
