It was fantastic. The last hour was haunting and the final shot with DeNiro wanting the door open a crack, like Hoffa did in the hotel suite, made me tear up. Also, I'm absolutely going to be one of those douchebags who calls it I Heard You Paint Houses.

Cacator posted:God drat Pesci is good in this. So soft spoken yet you feel the weight behind every word. Pesci was my favourite performance in the film, but Pacino was also the best he's been in... decades? The conversation between the two of them at Frank's party.

If you think the more accurate movie is the better one, sure.

Man, I keep thinking about Hoffa's death. Pacino is heartbreaking in that last moment.

BiggerBoat posted:I think he understood perfectly. Yeah, I think it's his confusion and kind of halfhearted and way-too-late attempt to try to fix that relationship that's so effective. "It's what it is" just isn't a good answer when the question is "why were you a bad, distant father?" Speaking of, Marin Ireland did some great work in that scene where Frank is asking if there's anything he can do to make it up to his daughters.

Yeah, I didn't have a problem with the de-ageing because I didn't really care or think about how old they were supposed to be, just how old they were relative to narrator Frank. It worked in that regard.

Taear posted:The problem is that most of the time it all looked like they were the same ages - over 60. I dunno. There was narrator Frank, trip with Russ and the wives Frank, and younger than that Frank. It worked fine.

I guess "how young he was supposed to be" just wasn't a thing I cared about. I definitely laughed the couple of times Pesci called him "kid" though.

With all due respect, the movie seems to have been well-received, so I don't actually think it would have been better as a miniseries. I also don't think a lot more screentime for minor characters like Jesse Plemmons and Crazy Joe is necessary at all. Anna Paquin's role has kind been discussed to death.
