The film operates with an ambitious canvas, unfolding with stately elegance, but it is Scorsese’s existential dissection of Christian theology that lends it its thought-provoking, even compassionate, power.

Scorsese redefines himself for the modern age with this intense, energetic and debaucherous crime-comedy that sees Leonardo DiCaprio giving possibly his greatest performance to date.

Scorsese’s brilliant love letter to the film lover, and the finest use of 3D technology since ‘Avatar’.

Absolutely love this more than most critics, this Scorsese mystery-thriller is full of twists and turns, and left me breathless with its superb filmmaking.
