The Irishman - 9/10
the story telling here is truly excellent but the 4th wall is constantly shattered when all the CG industrial light and magic can muster can reshape their faces to appear younger but fails to hide the movements of its aging cast constantly giving it all away. It's this break in the immersion that keeps this from being Scorsese's magnum opus. There are several insrances where a tighter shot would have been preferable to better mask the issue but by using a more pleasing-to-the-eye wide shot is ruined as its all star cast hobbles away.
All in all its a great film, highly reccomend it, but the films goal, backed by a $200 million budget, is ultimately a failure.
