THE IRISHMAN is good! takes 90 minutes to lock in & clear out the cobwebs / adjust to CGI, but the scope is a virtue, the performances are killer (Joseph! Frank! Pesci!) & it eventually coheres into a heart-stopping meditation on the myopia of time. an old man movie for the ages. — david ehrlich (@davidehrlich) September 27, 2019

THE IRISHMAN: An instant Martin Scorsese crime classic that’s everything you want to be, and more. De Niro’s best work in ages, Pesci lights up the screen, and Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa screaming about the Kennedys is the peak of cinema! — Brett _________ (@BrettRedacted) September 27, 2019
quote:
THE IRISHMAN is a masterwork. Funny, epic, and most of all, melancholy. It’s Scorsese confronting aging, legacies, and mortality. I may or may not have teared up at the end… — Chris Evangelista (@cevangelista413) September 27, 2019

THE IRISHMAN: Pacino unhinges his jaw and swallows this thing whole like a python choking down a gazelle carcass, berserker mode king shite — Charles Bramesco (@intothecrevasse) September 27, 2019

THE IRISHMAN is not GOODFELLAS/CASINO part 3. Different pace different tone. It is, however, absolutely fricking fantastic and I am floored. All hail the King. — Jordan Hoffman (@jhoffman) September 27, 2019
quote:
THE IRISHMAN – Audacious, epic, a film that feels like it spans lifetimes yet whisks by. Technically bold, performances raw and darkly humourous, it is the culmination of Scorsese’s genre fascinations, and a late career triumph. Truly cinematic, demanding to be seen big #nyff57 — Jason Gorber @ #NYFF (@filmfest_ca) September 27, 2019

Al Pacino owns #TheIrishman but Robert De Niro owns the last thirty minutes. #NYFF — Josh Encinias @ NYFF (@joshencinias) September 27, 2019

Boy. #TheIrishman is a fitting homecoming for De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, and Scorsese’s ode to gangster cinema. Hilarious and sharply written. A portrait of mortality and legacy, told like a culmination of everything we have ever seen in this genre. It’s LONG but never boring. #NYFF pic.twitter.com/OBTAXem4On — Kevin L. Lee @ NYFF (@Klee_FilmReview) September 27, 2019
quote:
To expand: THE IRISHMAN is well paced. Pacino gives one of his performance in years. Pesci surprisingly plays against type. Incredibly funny. I’ll save the rest of my thoughts for the review. #NYFF57 — Robert Daniels @ NYFF (@812filmreviews) September 27, 2019
quote:
THE IRISHMAN: Think GOODFELLAS, but directed by the man who gave us SILENCE. A culmination, meditation and tribute to every Scorsese/De Niro/Pesci collaboration. And yet, Al Pacino towers over all of them with a funny, sad and haunting performance as Jimmy Hoffa. — Jordan Ruimy @ #NYFF (@mrRuimy) September 27, 2019
quote:
#TheIrishman is Scorsese’s version of “On the Waterfront” meets “The Godfather,” almost a swan song with an added layer of nostalgia for his own past work. The editing is particularly excellent and all three actors are strong #NYFF57 #NYFF — J Don Birnam @ NYFF (@jdonbirnam) September 27, 2019
quote:
#TheIrishman is utterly exceptional – vintage Scorsese. It takes so much from his best films and then becomes its own. Three brilliant performances and the deaging was no problem at all. #NYFF @FilmInquiry @netflix pic.twitter.com/wTCwhuopY9 — Brent Goldman @ NYFF (@bgoldman22) September 27, 2019
quote:
I wish I could take a photo in he dark of all these people on their phones doing twitter hot takes on #TheIrishman. Here’s mine: it’s middle of the Scorsese pack. Def more of a sober character study than classic tense mob thriller — Mara Reinstein (@MaraReinstein) September 27, 2019

Well damn. It takes an entire movie just to get used to the movie. Lol
Posted on 9/27/19 at 12:32 pm to GetCocky11
Well, its three and a half hours long 
Posted on 9/27/19 at 12:41 pm to The Godfather
I saw Silence a few weeks ago. Its about 3 hours long but doesn't feel it. Scorcese can handle these long movies. I don't have much confidence in the actors though.
Posted on 9/27/19 at 12:55 pm to Brosef Stalin
Well judging by those reactions (yeah i know first reactions are typically positive) all three of them kill it and Pacino gives best performance in years.

Generally, yeah. Wolf of Wall Street, however, would've been better if they cut out like 45 minutes.

damn, if Pacino's on his A-game, watch out

I just watched the trailer again. He looks really good.
Posted on 9/28/19 at 9:11 am to WicKed WayZ
I might be the only one, but when I watch the trailer, I dont really see the de-aging. I think its because we havent seen De Niro, Pachino, and Pasci in the spotlight in such a long time. I havent really seen them age.
Posted on 9/28/19 at 9:46 am to WicKed WayZ
yeah already he's garnering Oscar buzz... would love to see Phoenix win Best Actor for JOKER and Pacino to win Best Supporting Actor for this

It won’t be hard to be Pacino’s best performance in ages. He’s been pretty bad since scent of a woman
