Critics, per Wikipedia
The initial critical response to Once Upon a Time in America was mixed, primarily because of the different versions released worldwide. Although the film was well received in its original form internationally, American critics were much more dissatisfied with the 139-minute version that was released in North America. The condensed version was a critical and financial disaster,. Some critics compared shortening the film to shortening Richard Wagner's operas, saying that works of art that are meant to be long should be given the respect they deserve. In his 1984 review, Roger Ebert gave the uncut version four stars out of four and wrote that it was "an epic poem of violence and greed", but…

positive · AI labelView post →Everyone should ignore my 1.5 star review of Once Upon a Time in America. Apparently everyone else things it's tops. I am alone in my beliefs about that movie (it's terrible but has a wonderful soundtrack) but I will stand by them.

neutral · AI labelView post →It was a leap forward in gangster movies. The genre had peaked in the 1920-30's, then it flipped to becoming more detective/police focused in the 1940's forward. The gangster film was fairly dead by the 70's. The entire vibe you think of as a modern 'gangster movie vibe' is The Godfather. There's a lot of movies that don't exist without The Godfather coming first. Once Upon a Time in America (1984) was Sergio Leone's attempt to do the same sort of thing.

Leisurely pace creates almost dreamlike epic over 3 time frames of shifting power dynamics. Ambitious scope, well executed. #filmsky 📽
