The Irishman
Pennsylvania, 1956. Frank Sheeran, a war veteran of Irish origin who works as a truck driver, accidentally meets mobster Russell Bufalino. Once Frank becomes his trusted man, Bufalino sends him to Chicago with the task of helping Jimmy Hoffa, a powerful union leader related to organized crime, with whom Frank will maintain a close friendship for nearly twenty years.

60 of 235 · most liked firstas I've mentioned before, Scorcese clearly loathes the mob and fraudsters and yet he kept making the mob and doing fraud look cool as hell, which is why The Irishman is a great movie
positive · AI labelView post →Adam Scott saying he's seen The Irishman 12 times in his Criterion closet feature... that is so many times for that movie
neutral · AI labelView post →If anyone from film Twitter is over here on Bluesky saving these screenshots I want you to know I still think The Irishman was an unwatchable derivative pointless piece of shit 🤗
negative · AI labelView post →Sitting next to a couple on the train. The man is fascinatingly stupid. Her: “I’d like to travel” Him: “but what if there were no aeroplanes” Her: “People travelled before aeroplanes” Him: “No they didn’t. They didn’t” Her: “They did!” Him: “The Irishman was a good movie. It was cinema”
neutral · AI labelView post →But, just to say it, as bad as this movie is, The Irishman is worse. Soooooooo plodding and lazy.
negative · AI labelView post →Also new notable data from ESG: Nielsen finally reported data on THE IRISHMAN, which had the biggest opening week of any film on Netflix. Even if you discount for run time it's still in the top 5. This goes against every story that tries to promote that Netflix "wasted" money on the Scorsese epic.
neutral · AI labelView post →Heat is a masterpiece and The Irishman is also a masterpiece despite the failed CGI experiment. The Departed is a mid Scorsese movie which just means it isn’t quite a masterpiece.
positive · AI labelView post →Harvey Keitel’s involvement in this film suggests Elder Abuse is involved. He’s 87. He looked like he was fading in The Irishman and that was 7 years ago. Danny Trejo (age 82) was involved in the Adam Carolla Daily Wire cartoon Mr. Birchum, so this is just a further disappointment from him.
neutral · AI labelView post →Love this shot of Pacino & De Niro on the set of The Irishman in 2019. The hugely unglamorous side to Movie making - which really does involve HUGE amounts of sitting around waiting, on & off set - is something the public doesn’t get to endure first-hand, but us Actors? Oh yes.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've posted this before but people with the take that Scorsese makes the same film again and again are some of the dumbest people on planet earth. The Irishman is not like Goodfellas and neither are anything like After Hours, Killers of the Flower Moon, Hugo, Bringing out the Dead, Cape Fear etc!

neutral · AI labelView post →I honestly have no idea what people mean when they say in their video essays: "This looks like a Netflix movie." Which Netflix movie? Glass Onion? I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House? The Irishman? The Rebel Moon films? Rebel Ridge? Extraction? Mank? Chupa? All look different to me. 🤷♂️
neutral · AI labelView post →The weird thing about his critique is that The Irishman isn't even like his other gangster movies. It's more a movie about Ernie and Bert where Ernie has to kill Bert and live in purgatory.
positive · AI labelView post →The Irishman is a Christmas film.
neutral · AI labelView post →The older I get, the more I realise there are two sides to most arguments. For example, I think shrinkflation is generally a bad thing and am annoyed about what it's done to my favourite breakfast cereal, but on the other hand, it could have made The Irishman a much better film.
negative · AI labelView post →Without saying Heat, The Irishman or The Godfather Part II, what’s your favorite movie pairing De Niro and Pacino?
neutral · AI labelView post →I very much want to see the new Martin Scorsese film, Killers of the Flower Moon…but also a little worried. Honestly has he made a really good film since The Departed? (2006). The Irishman, the last one I’ve seen, was (hate to say it) terrible.
negative · AI labelView post →#NowWatching THE IRISHMAN (2019). Director: Martin Scorsese. Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci. Scorcese's historical crime saga engaged my mind more than my heart on 1st watch. Reevaluating several years later. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1058
neutral · AI labelView post →The Irishman is genuinely so bad watching people praise that movie is like watching people pretend rotten food tastes good.
negative · AI labelView post →PERSON OF THE DAY. 17 November 1942. Martin Scorsese was born in New York City, USA. He’s one of the most significant directors in film history. He made a number of classic films with Robert De Niro, including, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Cape Fear, Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Irishman.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's not just you, my friend. Among many movies, I felt that way about Killers of the Flower Moon and it literally took me to fall into a random convo with the girl who cleans my office at work before I found a like-minded individual. That movie and The Irishman were piss, but everybody insists they are masterpieces because Scorsese made them. Scorsese is just like James Cameron and Fancis Ford Coppola where they have reached an age and are so accomplished that they have lost touch with the…

neutral · AI labelView post →"Movies are supposed to be fun!" - Scorsese movies can be fun "Scorsese movies don't make money" (because the Irishman was barely released) "Not every movie has to be about toxic masculinity" - what are Marvel movies if not toxic masculinity spectacles?
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't sleep, sour mood, might as well watch THE IRISHMAN again. I've had a hard time locking into movies, any movie, lately, but I fell right into this one again. The part of this that's about two old men on a long road trip to kill a guy is so good. The tone of it is beautifully judged.
positive · AI labelView post →I couldn't drag myself to see Megalopolis out of a sense of obligation. It looks so boring. Now The Irishman, on the other hand, is a movie that is like 3.5 hours long and ZIPPED by for me. What a marvel.
positive · AI labelView post →Goes from classic rock and flashy suits in CASINO to early bird specials and shitty polos in The Irishman. Movie ends with thirty minutes of De Niro waiting to die in the world's shittiest retirement home.
positive · AI labelView post →Big day for movie lovers: THE ALTO KNIGHTS, from the hitmakers who brought you GOODFELLAS, THE IRISHMAN and BUGSY opens today. And if you think you need to get your eyes checked after seeing TWO Robert De Niros on the poster, cancel that appointment with the eye doctor, you’re not seeing double

positive · AI labelView post →Me making plans: “Over the New Year break, I *will* find 3½ hours when I’m rested and focused enough to watch Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman’ in one sitting.” Me in reality: “Ooh, a new ‘Wallace and Gromit’ movie from Nick Park! With ‘Cape Fear’ [and ‘Aliens’] references! Cracking!”

unlabelledView post →It's extremely funny that The Alto Knights—a movie which Scorsese neither produced nor directed—is being marketed as "From the hitmakers of Goodfellas and The Irishman"
unlabelledView post →Thinking about THE IRISHMAN. Scorsese’s final film of the 2010s is one of the decade’s best, a treatise on aging and decay of the physical form - a remarkable understanding of mortality. “Don’t shut the door all the way. I don’t like that.” My review from last year: boxd.it/51Axzf #filmsky📽️🎥

Not in a derogatory way, just thought of The Irishman and was like "ah yeah classic COVID production energy" and then was like ah wait no, no way, because Flower Moon's production took like ALL of this decade (also feels like a COVID movie)

unlabelledView post →The height of the digital de-aging boom was The Irishman which is a good movie but it came out at the same time as Da 5 Bloods where Spike Lee just stuck Delroy Lindo in fatigues and went “there, now he’s 20 in 1968”

Some of the dialogue is clunky, but it’s cast well. Emily Blunt is near career best—fragile and open. Williams kills it. A-
