There is a review embargo until 8pm EST
today, but the first press screening already finished about 2 hours ago and critics/audience members have started to share their reactions. And they're extremely positive
!
"I love THE IRISHMAN so much because it’s far more than another gangland notch on Scorsese’s belt. It’s an American epic concerned with profound moral decay and a lifetime’s festering regret. De Niro is sublime. Pacino is electric, with Pesci the calming foil. And it flies by!" - Kris Tapley
"There’s so much to unpack, I can’t do it all in a single tweet. This is easily Robert De Niro & Al Pacino’s best performances in years! There are great moments of tension, drama & humor too! It’s paced like Silence but engaging like Wolf of Wall Street. 3rd act is incredible!!" - Matt Neglia (NextBestPicture)
"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." - Brent Goldman (Vulture)
"The Irishman is powerful filmmaking. Something that ruminates on the end of things, and what feels like a living wake for Scorsese, De Niro, and Pacino’s era, their crime movies, and the legacy a life can leave to the world it shapes." - David Crow (Denofgeek)
"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!" - BrettRedacted
"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
"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" - J. Don Birnam (The Splash Report)
"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" - Jason Gorber
"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 (SlashFilm)
