The Many Saints of Newark

Juliet_Castillo shared a tip "I loved it. Once again, viewers witness the enthralling dynamic between Livia and Tony by way of the perfect pairing of Vera Farmiga and Michael Gandolfini. Not to mention, the nuanced performances of a quality cast that duly paid tribute to their predecessors. Enjoyed this return to an era where an HBO show set the bar for quality television. It was a touching bonus that Michael Gandolfini was selected for this role as he brings back so much of what we love about his father and the character he created. The vulnerability of Tony’s (James’) gentle face and eyes were perfectly captured by Michael who also brings dimension and heart to the role. So much so, that it truly felt like we were peering into the formative years of Tony Soprano. Michael proves that he is a talent in his own right leaving no doubt of the honor he brings to his father."

james_dunphy shared a tip "Really enjoyed the movie the back story, seeing some of the characters in their early years from the show, and how things played out for the generations before Tony and seeing his interactions with them as a youth. I thought the actors depicted the tv series characters very well, from Tony, Sal, Etc. It wasn't quite the ending I was expecting just the same. Left me wanting to see more of Tony's rise to where we see him at the start of the TV series. Fingers crossed for a 2nd movie"

quaisha_ladyboss shared a tip "6 out of 10. The movie focuses mostly on the uncle and doesn't show the part of the relationship with Young Tony that shows him the business. The only thing Tony was shown doing that relates to anything illegal had nothing to do with the business of his family but just being rebellious. The marketing of this movie was a straight out lie. Tony decided to go into the business only because his uncle died, whom actually stayed away from him for a period of time so that he wouldn't be a bad influence"

austin_broth shared a tip "Straight garbage. Forced line after forced line. No storyline what so ever. Questionable casting (specifically sil). Many aspects didn’t line up with the show. Forced minority storyline that had no real purpose. Really makes you appreciate how good the show was. Specifically how real and genuine it was. This however, was the exact opposite. Such a disappointment. 15"

I would definitely suggest watching the Sopranos completely through to thoroughly understand every angle of this story . I’m a huge fan of mob movies though and it’s definitely one of those genres that isn’t visited as often . I would probably put this above the Irishman myself . They really paid attention to detail in this movie ."
