    Scorsese’s best late-era film, and it’s not even remotely close for me. If I’m being real, fighting for my favourite Scorsese film period. 

    Better with every rewatch, building, building and building to an otherworldly, chill-inducing final act featuring one of the most powerful moments in film history.

    ★★★½

    Sweeping, all-caps, problematic, three-and-a-half-hour, cheesy, american cinema, and I ate up every second of it. 

    The blistering score, expansive cinematography, dramatic time jumps, and possessed James Dean/Liz Taylor performances will rip you out of your own body. Rock Hudson is just Rock Hudson.  

    An achievement in showing the passage of time on screen, and despite being a clear product of it’s era, Stevens could’ve made an 8-hour cut, and I’d (somewhat) defend it with my life.

    Idk. I don’t want to sound like an asshole, but I genuinely feel like I wasted money watching this absolute garbage. This was just in such poor taste, I don’t care about the intentions. This makes me not want to watch movies anymore, my blood is boiling. Masturbatory piece of complete dog that’s trying so hard, like so hard.

    Had more fun with this than others, felt like some hokey stuff I’d see on some random channel at 2am in the morning. Stupid and quaint, but it gets away with it if you like Chris Pine.
