Film review: The Irishman

BBC  

Film review: The Irishman Netflix Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino star in Martin Scorsese’s latest – which had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival. Martin Scorsese's exciting, epic-length new crime film, The Irishman, isn’t Goodfellas Light or Goodfellas 2, it is more an inverse Goodfellas. Sheeran has flashes of violence in his younger days, but for most of the film De Niro's perfect restraint makes him a middle-aged man who has absorbed some of Bufalino's cold-blooded calm. When we return to the aged Frank in the film's final stretch, confiding in a priest about the daughter who hasn't spoken to him in years, De Niro gives the film a moving, elegiac ending.
