Es gab wohl vor der ersten Vorstellung schon eine Pressevorführung und die Kritiker hauen so einige Ersteindrücke per Twitter raus:
"Alright, more coherent thoughts on #TheIrishman to come in my review tonight but I’ll say this for now because I know people are curious about it: The de-aging worked for me! Jarring at first, but you got used to it, and De Niro was good enough that it didn’t matter." (Anna Menta)
"The cast is great and the production design is fantastic and obviously there's all the de-aging wizardry. But the real hero of Scorsese's team, as it always is, yet somehow even more so here, is Thelma Schoonmaker. The editing in The Irishman is simply virtuosic." (Steven Zeitchik)
"THE IRISHMAN is not GOODFELLAS/CASINO part 3. Different pace different tone. It is, however, absolutely fucking fantastic and I am floored. All hail the King." (Jordan Hoffman)
"THE IRISHMAN is a masterwork. Funny, epic, and most of all, melancholy. It’s Scorsese confronting aging, legacies, and mortality. I may or may not have teared up at the end..." (Chris Evangelista)
"THE IRISHMAN - Audacious, epic, a film that feels like it spans lifetimes yet whisks by. Technically bold, performances raw and darkly humourous, it is the culmination of Scorsese's genre fascinations, and a late career triumph. Truly cinematic, demanding to be seen big #nyff57" (Jason Gorber)
"THE IRISHMAN: Think GOODFELLAS, but directed by the man who gave us SILENCE. A culmination, meditation and tribute to every Scorsese/De Niro/Pesci collaboration. And yet, Al Pacino towers over all of them with a funny, sad and haunting performance as Jimmy Hoffa." (Jordan Ruimy)
