“+++++
ONE OF MARTIN SCORSESE’S
BEST FILMS EVER.
For his cast, Martin Scorsese has assembled a trio of galacticos, a superstar
repertory of players giving him (and us) performances of wintry brilliance,
ebullience and regret. The film is operatic and disturbing in the classic style,
which is to say the style that Scorsese invented with the language partly
provided by Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. No one but Scorsese and this glorious
cast could have made this movie live as richly and compellingly as it does. It is
another massive achievement for Scorsese.”
“A MASTERPIECE.
Martin Scorsese’s reunion with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci and
first collaboration with Al Pacino is the real deal. Martin Scorsese’s
entire first-class acting ensemble brought its A-game. As with all
Martin Scorsese films, crafts and tech work are also outstanding,
from costume designs by Sandy Powell and Christopher Peterson to
production design by Bob Shaw to cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto to
film editing by Thelma Schoonmaker to music by Robbie Robertson.”
