Our take on The Irishman

Scorsese's 2019 epic follows hitman Frank Sheeran across decades of mob loyalty and the vanishing of Jimmy Hoffa, in an elegiac meditation on violence, time and regret. Long, patient and quietly mournful, it's a gangster saga in autumn. If its reflective grandeur and moral weight gripped you, seek out late-career crime epics about old men reckoning with the lives they took.
