Jake Apgar’s review published on Letterboxd:
Scorsese Ranked
This and Goodfellas are the best Scorsese movies in my eyes. They are both very similar in the way the feel and are told.
This is also one of the funniest movies I’ve seen, the scene where the lemmon’s kick in and Leo and Jonah Hill are on the floor screaming at each other is one of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen!
This is also the shortest feeling 3 hour long movie ever. It flies by like nothing because of how good it is.
Also the performances are amazing especially Leo who got robbed of an Oscar.
I think that there are pretty much two era’s of Scorsese movies that I think they can be summed up by which actors are in most of them.
First you have the Robert De Niro era. I’m not saying he was in all of Scorsese’s movies at the time but he was in a good majority. This era’s masterpiece was Goodfellas in my opinion.
Then you have the Leonardo DiCaprio era, which I have not seen as many of these movies but I’ll get to them, and this era’s masterpiece is The Wolf Of Wall Street.
This movie is insane!
