The world premiere of The Irishman is set to take place today at NYFF. However, before the premiere, critics were treated to a screening earlier this morning and from the film’s first reactions, Martin Scorsese has done it again!
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…

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!

#TheIrishman is TERRIFIC! The Holy Trinity of Mobsters—De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci all carry this 3.5 hr movie with ease and Oscar-worthy performances. De-aging works! Scorsese still has the energy of the 70's, and this film offers mafia action with reflective substance. pic.twitter.com/upCf9S4nTL

THE IRISHMAN is laugh-out-loud hilarious throughout, occasionally very violent, and then profoundly, deeply sad. Marty did it!!!!
