An important movie ahead of its time at tackling topics like toxic masculinity and problematic gender roles. Painful to watch at times
It definitely makes you reflect on the struggles one has in their own life. Wonderful acting in this subtle, overlooked Scorsese drama.
Working my way backwards through Scorsese’s catalog I found this movie to be the most surprising of in terms of story telling & performances
A nice film. Very different from any other Scorsese film, but that is what makes is special. Burstyn gives here great performance!
This is not your typical Scorsese gangster film. It's more wholesome, but still has that realist Scorsese magic about it.
Ellen Burstyn gives an absolutely incredible performance in Scorsese’s look at contemporary womanhood balancing warmth and realism
This movie is the definition of Life. it is arguably the blueprint for Boyhood.
Ellen Burstyn is phenomenal in this uncharacteristically low key drama from Scorsese.
I hated this film for one reason. That awful damn kid. I hated Tommy. I wanted to see him die. That may sound awful, but I don’t care.
Really rough around the edges, but a charming enough love story makes for an alright film
