The Irishman (El irlandés) tuvo su estreno oficial en el Festival de Nueva York y las primeras reacciones de la crítica profesional han sido muy positivas.
Protagonizada por Robert de Niro, Al Pacino y Joe Pesci, The Irishman de Martin Scorsese destaca sobre todo por la utilización del rejuvenecimiento facial, ya que la película se traslada a distintos periodos temporales de Frank Sheeran (Robert de Niro), un veterano de guerra transformado en asesino a sueldo para acabar con la vida de Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino).
Críticos importantes como Eric Kohn, David Echrlich, Jordan Hoffman o Kevin L. Lee han salido entusiasmados de la proyección, destacando en lo corta que se hace la película, la buena utilización del CGI y un Al Pacino de Óscar.
THE IRISHMAN is like a greatest hits album from a master of the medium. Yes, that’s a positive.
The artifice of de-aging is more feature than bug.
It’s not “slow.” It often moves like lightening & elsewhere it’s downright Bressonian.
This is not a review! Those are embargoed.

THE IRISHMAN is good! takes 90 minutes to lock in & clear out the cobwebs / adjust to CGI, but the scope is a virtue, the performances are killer (Joseph! Frank! Pesci!) & it eventually coheres into a heart-stopping meditation on the myopia of time. an old man movie for the ages.

THE IRISHMAN is not GOODFELLAS/CASINO part 3. Different pace different tone. It is, however, absolutely fucking fantastic and I am floored. All hail the King.

Boy. #TheIrishman is a fitting homecoming for De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, and Scorsese’s ode to gangster cinema. Hilarious and sharply written. A portrait of mortality and legacy, told like a culmination of everything we have ever seen in this genre. It’s LONG but never boring. #NYFF pic.twitter.com/OBTAXem4On

THE IRISHMAN: Think GOODFELLAS, but directed by the man who gave us SILENCE. A culmination, meditation and tribute to every Scorsese/De Niro/Pesci collaboration. And yet, Al Pacino towers over all of them with a funny, sad and haunting performance as Jimmy Hoffa.

I wish I could take a photo in he dark of all these people on their phones doing twitter hot takes on #TheIrishman. Here’s mine: it’s middle of the Scorsese pack. Def more of a sober character study than classic tense mob thriller

THE IRISHMAN will be an across-the-board Oscar contender but it sure is working the same demo as Tarantino's OUATIH, another big-budget period piece from an A-list auteur with impeccable retro crafts, an extended running time, a big supporting-actor contender and a man's man vibe
