Movie was fucking awesome. Also took me a moment to ignore the ageing shit. Pretty much best scorsese flick since goodfellas. I loved departed and wolf of wall street but those didn't have a scorsese feel to them. I looked at this as the last hoorah of these great actors.
Also, allow me to rant for a second.
there has been fem nazi/white girl suicide bombers out there up in arms about anna paquin not having enough lines in the movie. Talking about that it was a typical scorsese treatment of female characters. My reaction after watching it, was pretty much they need to shut the fuck up. What a stupid narrative. Of course we don't get to "know her better". The story is told through the eyes of a father that never got to know her because of his actions that we see unfold in the movie. That's the whole fucking point of the movie.
rant over.
