Critics Consensus

An epic gangster drama that earns its extended runtime, The Irishman finds Martin Scorsese revisiting familiar themes to poignant, funny, and profound effect.

San Diego Reader

It didn't take a genius to see that television was finally poised to win the war against movies. I just didn't expect my teacher to be leading the charge against theatrical exhibition.

Rated: 3/5

The Irishman is a much more deliberate and weighty gangster film - by comparison, Goodfellas is a riot. But it's a vibe that works in its gravitas.

The affecting, ruminative finale and the melancholic last scene leaves a metaphorical door ajar in our hearts, a deep hollow that's hard to fill...

This is not a blatant retread of films like Taxi Driver and The Gangs of New York. The film has shots or sequences that mirror those films, but it brings something new to the table from a thematic or technical standpoint.

For Your Reference Podcast

The Irishman has the same Scorsese beats we have come to love but moves to a noticeably staggered rhythm in it's device of storytelling, laboured performances and reluctance to commit to the brutal energy of Goodfellas.

Rated: 3/5

For Your Reference Podcast

The Irishman tests patience with its runtime and less effective storytelling on a second watch. CGI de-aging distracts, yet Scorsese's touch shines in cinematography.

Just before the Oscars I got the opportunity to watch this 10 times nominee on the big screen. At 3:29 hours, it is loooong! Not a real problem, though, since it was shot for Netflix with only limited theatrical release, so very few people had to sit through it in a theater. Most of the acting is great, as are the visual effects of aging / younging (?) the numerous well known actors over the story that spanned several decades. The story is the film's biggest flaw, though: there was no build-up, no climax, just year after year after year, dying down in the end. Best picture? Not even remotely, with Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Little Women in the mix.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The movie was good, as was the acting. However, the same story could have been told in half the time. It was way too long.

Classic Scorsese! Di Niro and Pacino command the movie like they always have throughout their career. I just wish it wasn't such a long movie. After 3 hours I was wearing down.
