Whether seen on the big screen or a small one, The Irishman is among 2019's best motion pictures and should receive its share of Oscar attention in 2020. Nov 18, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

"The Irishman" moves slowly and pensively, invests in the natural rhythm of conversations and stops to smell the roses. Nov 18, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review…

It's the ultimate fusing of Scorsese's two sides... And even though it takes a while to get there, the movie is a masterpiece, one made by a man counting down his own years as if they were rosary beads. Nov 14, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

"The Irishman" is long, to be sure, but it's never less than compelling - Scorsese, De Niro, Pacino and Pesci, all in their mid-to-late-70s, are each carrying a lifetime of work, with practiced ease. Nov 13, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

This is a well-made movie by a truly great director and the acting is fine, but the story seems kind of pointless. There is a lot of killing, a lot of suffering, and for what? On the other hand, maybe that is the point of it after all. Jan 15, 2020 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Joe Pesci, Robert de Niro and Al Pacino... manage to create well-differentiated, memorable characterizations. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 13, 2020 | Full Review…

At its heart, it's a unique account of friendship, trust and betrayal between three men. But Scorsese, chasing his mob mania, can't resist involving more characters and vignettes than he can handle. Jan 6, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Scorsese's return is nostalgic and full of special effects. Its story remains comfortably humble in the face of typical scrutiny by today's audiences. [Full review in Spanish]. Jan 5, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
