    The Many Saints of Newark

    ★★★

    Well, there isn’t much to say here. The movie felt like a flashback episode of the Sopranos that dragged on a little too long, and that’s not entirely a bad thing. The fact that the movie was able to recapture some of the original magic of one of the greatest television series ever made is still a feat; however, the magic wears off pretty quickly.
