Starting with 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' Director Martin Scorsese has fallen in love with three-hour plus films. It's as if he has fallen in love with every frame he shoots and cannot bear to part with a single scene. Christopher Nolan suffers from the same malady.
Here's an idea: he should have turned the 'The Irishman' and this film, into limited streaming series'. This film isn't slow, it's glacial! It's boring!
As for the acting, this might be the worst film of Leonardo Di Caprio's career. His ludicrous accent is even more pronounced in some scenes. Plus, Leo has caught the De Niro Kabuki Theater facial gestures. He looks like he's gurning in most scenes. As for De Niro, he phones another one in. I don't know what the hell Brendan Frazier is doing. Blink and you might miss John Lithgow. Only Jesse Plemons and Lily Gladstone rise to the occasion.
However, the soundtrack is excellent, as is the costuming.
