IMDb
Outstanding film of epic proportions. From his nursing home Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran (Robert De Niro) recalls his life from truck driver to gangster. Army vet Sheeran, friend of mafia boss Russell Buffalino (Joe Pesci) and union leader Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) are all vividly brought to life by masterful performances by the three leads. In addition, a virtually wordless Anna Paquin shines in a minor but important role as Sheeran's grown-up daughter. Compelling throughout it's 209 minutes run time this is one of the director's best. Cinematography, screenplay, production design, editing and score are all superb. I had no problem with the de-aging process. For me a modern classic. Unmissable.
