The Irishman

This review is going to be redundant. What will be said has already been said. This movie is too long. The story itself is great and I really enjoyed many of the performances, however, a lot of this movie could and should have been cut out. The movie sits at 3 and a half hours, it’s just like when your grandpa starts a story about “Back in my day.” It just goes on and on. Nevertheless, I found that many of the performances were great. And, although Scorsese may have made one of the longest films I’ve ever seen, I must applaud him for being able to direct the actors and keep it relatively fresh throughout, but, there were certainly scenes that weren’t needed. I will say that I probably have a bias, like many, I watched this in small chunks. I would like to see the movie as a whole, but time just doesn’t allow. So, I gave the movie the benefit of the doubt and gave it an extra half star bringing it to an overall 7.6/10

Where can I find this?: Netflix
