 I watch it all (in two evenings) and despite gaps in the story and constant introductions of new characters that temporarily make me lose the thread, I appreciate the work.

 The only real flaw is just this: the result of Scorsese’s ambition to explain too much, wanting to make the last epic work.

The reviewer finds The Irishman excessively long and complex, making it difficult to follow at times. Despite initial disappointment, the performances of De Niro, Pacino, and especially Pesci are praised. The film’s ambitious attempt to recount decades of mafia and political history feels sometimes like a documentary, with advanced rejuvenation technology provoking mixed reactions. Ultimately, the reviewer respects Scorsese’s work but sees it as an overambitious swan song requiring patience. Discover Scorsese’s epic crime saga and witness unforgettable performances by cinema legends.
