I watched "The Irishman" a few weeks back over three consecutive nights. Honestly, it struck me as being "Casino" with less interesting characters. But my main issue was the director's inability (or unwillingness) to self-edit; the whole thing felt very self-indulgent. There were whole scenes that could have been edited out without affecting the story - including a solid 30 seconds of Pesci & DeNiro just staring at each other from across a nightclub table. I was (half-)joking on Oscar night that I'd like to download the film and edit it down to just the stuff that drives the story forward, and call it the "Get to the F**KING POINT ALREADY" edition.
