Review of The Many Saints of Newark (2021) by Jluis_001 — 18 Oct 2021
Describing this film taking into account the enormous legacy of the Sopranos, both on television and the entertainment culture, is a bit difficult.
It's a bit difficult because even with any excuse that can be given to the creation of this story, frankly, there's nothing that justifies it, except perhaps nostalgia, and the enormous recognition the show has.
The Many Saints of Newark feels like a prequel/spin-off that gives some explanations about the past of some characters, but ultimately adds nothing to them.
It's like if the creators of the show were reaching for something that just wasn't there.
The Many Saints of Newark is not a bad or low quality movie, but it's one that at the end of the day it's pretty much inconsequential.
It doesn't add anything to the show's legacy at all, it's simply a nice addition to its lore, that you can skip at any time however.
