I loved every minute of this documentary. I don’t think I’ve ever described a documentary as fast-paced and exciting, but it really is. Moving through director Martin Scorsese’s filmography in chronological order, as well as his personal history, this series highlights the impact he has had on the cinematic landscape, society, and those closest to him. It’s visually distinct, connecting his films with significant times in his life, and ridiculously entertaining with often funny anecdotes, all accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack. Overall, Mr. Scorsese is
a hugely enjoyable documentary, and a stunning portrait of one of the greatest living filmmakers.

If you’re a fan of director Martin Scorsese in any capacity — or just an unashamed cinephile — Mr. Scorsese is a must watch. Granted, depending on your level of fandom, it might be a little too long at five hours, but it covers everything from his upbringing to personal battles, from relationships with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio to his connection to the music world. Scorsese is surprisingly open and vulnerable as an interview subject, and he’s surrounded by a collection of equally noteworthy and powerful artists that add rich context to his career. If nothing else, it’ll make you want to rewatch his entire filmography.
