This was an incredibly long movie that is in dire need of some editing. There was in particular a scene at a wedding with long sweeping camera shots of faces of actors that we may or may not recognize(mostly the latter). This aforementioned scene was of no use to the plot. The film has numerous other instances where famous actors are showcased for one scene that adds nothing to the plot. The fantastic soundtrack, which so much an integral part of Scorsese's previous films, is absent here. I wanted to love this but it was a film in need of a soundtrack and editing to make it flow.
