What to Know

Critics Consensus

By being just as interested in Martin Scorsese the man as it is in Martin Scorsese the director, Rebecca Miller's rollicking documentary provides as revelatory a portrait of the master filmmaker as admirers could've ever hoped for.

Clarisse Loughrey Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jan 8, 2026
As a whole, Rebecca Miller’s five-part "film portrait" is a robust, near-insurmountable argument for the genius of Martin Scorsese, yet it spends its runtime always teetering on the brink of revelation. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 10, 2025
This is such a feast. If you love film in general and Scorsese's work in particular, there is so much here for you. Go to Full Review Nick De Semlyen Empire Magazine Oct 28, 2025
5/5
Incisively making links between Scorsese’s life and work, and letting its A-list guest stars tell wonderful stories, this is a smart, fast salute to a goodfella. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ Jul 13, 2026
Mr. Scorsese is a documentary we had no real right to expect. This is a smart, affectionate and insightful film, full of surprising details and a couple of jaw-dropping stories. Go to Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres Jan 8, 2026

"Mr. Scorsese intertwines memories, confessions, and film and musical fragments in a complex cinematic-existential portrait of the American director. [Full review in Spanish]" Go to Full Review Julia Swift My Champlain Valley Nov 26, 2025
6/10
You'll learn about filmmaking and Scorsese but I wish we got interviews that included the negative. When we do hear horrible stories, the director laughs, trying not to offend him. We get a 2-dimensional view of him instead of a full 3-dimensional look. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric N @EricNix Oct 4, 2026 It took me a while to watch Mr. Scorcese because, even though I'm almost 70, I've seen very few of his films. Having said that, once I actually watched the documentary, I was absolutely riveted. Learning about this obsessive, but deeply flawed, director is a fascinating ride. It also makes me want to go back and watch every single one of his films, because I truly want to see what I missed. Mr. Scorcese is an amazing documentary and well-deserving of its recent Emmy. See more Tom F @RT55173143 Apr 27, 2026 Not the worst Hollywood puff piece bio around, but not particularly interesting either. Also it’s a reminder that he directed some true master works but most of his movies were just okay. See more David F @dfulmer Dec 30, 2025 A great documentary worthy of its subject. See more Patrick S @PatrickStruik Dec 21, 2025 Highly recommended documentary. See more John Y. @JYJr16 Dec 2, 2025 Not sure any other director could warrant a doc this long. Everything covered and plenty of star power contributing. See more Alette G. @LettiSketti Nov 15, 2025 I went through a movies phase in the 2010s and wanted to see the kind of American films that were on lists such as 10 greatest movies of all time, etc. Scorsese has a well deserved spot on that list and getting the opportunity to understand him and his upbringing brings so much more meaning to the films of his I always enjoy. Great biographical docu series that made me sit down and want to hear more. See more Read all reviews
