The much-awaited Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman hasn’t even released yet, and still it’s making waves online. Hailed as a masterpiece and a phenomenal movie, the film which stars Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in lead roles, debuted with a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 33 reviews. It’s emotional, sombre and a gift for cinephiles, say critics.

For the unversed, The Irishman is based on the Charles Brandt's book I Heard You Paint Houses and narrates the story of Frank Sheeran, a notorious mobster who played a crucial role in the mysterious disappearance of labour leader Jimmy Hoffa (played by Al Pacino).

The movie premiered at the New York Film Festival and since then people on Twitter have been going gaga over it.

Anupam Kher, who is apparently good friends with Robert De Niro, attended The Irishman’s premiere at the New York Film Festival.

“My life is made. If you are an actor, can anything get bigger than this? Thank you dear #RobertDeNiro @netflix & @thenyff for inviting me to the #WorldPremiere of #MartinScorsese’s @theirishmanfilm. The film is an EPIC. SPECTACULAR. Heartbreaking. To see my all time favourite actors go through millions of varied emotions is a masterclass for actors all over the world. And Meeting #AlPacino, #JoePesci with my dearest friend #BobDeNiro was surreal. Thank you #RayRamano for your love and warmth. What a start to a great film festival. Jai Ho,” he wrote on Instagram.

The movie will be released on Nov 27.
