    It was going to be very hard for Scorsese to follow The Irishman, at least for me. That film arrived at the perfect time for me, and it really painted a vivid and emotional picture of a world Scorsese often depicted in his films. It was the perfect ending to his career, in my opinion.

    So I was very apprehensive going into this movie; another long runtime, another stretch of comments he’s catching heat for. I just didn’t want Scorsese…

    A classic and a monumental piece of cinema. This is a film that deserves every piece of praise it gets.

    Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker are back with a high energy thrillride that keeps you hooked until that final scene.

    This, unfortunately for me, falls under the “films I desperately wanted to watch when I was in my mid teens so i like the film but have no reasons or memory as to why” umbrella. A lot of Scorsese classics…

    So, halfway through this film, I was loving it, maybe not to the lengths where “this is absolutely amazing” but I was enjoying myself. Kept having thoughts of “this is like a Young British One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.” I was very entranced by the surroundings, the characters were really well written. You could just sense the tension rising and you’re left wondering where it’ll go until it ignites.

    I liked that we weren’t so heavily focused on Ray…

    This is just filled with childhood memories for me. And I didn’t realise how sad it was, the writing really makes you empathise with both Stitch and Lilo for where they are and the themes of family and belonging are just delivered with such care and love I’m so happy I’ve come back to this.

    And stitch is so funny, he makes me laugh for next to no reason.
