s. mill’s review published on Letterboxd:
Pater : Goodfellas (1990)
Filius : Casino (1995)
Spiritus Sanctus: The Irishman (2019)
Absolutely phenomenal work from everyone involved. De Niro, Scorsese, and Schoonmaker (at the very least!) better be taking home some of those pointless little statues come February. This is probably Scorsese’s best film of this decade, but I’m not sure if it’s my favorite, only because it actually feels too mature for me to properly grasp—like there’s something about this story I simply can’t understand; I mean, I’ve never heard of Jimmy Hoffa either.
