we watched the long version which at 2.5hrs was too long - there is a short version option which i wish we'd picked. Really good story and music, and well acted with a few good laughs made it a good film. I'd have given it a 4 or 5 had i watched the short version :-D
It's hard to believe that the same guy who made this flaccid, rather dull story about two dull people would - only a couple of years later - make the masterful Raging Bull.
In the latter, every frame is invested with a drama so compelling that we can't look away, even if sometimes we'd like to.
But this? Nah. It's clear Scorsese excelled when he stuck to the world he was born to depict, from Mean Streets to The Irishman. Still, I had to see this - once.
