Spect.

Viewers generally praise 'Once Upon a Time in America' for its intricate storytelling and stunning cinematography, underscored by Ennio Morricone's memorable score. The film's portrayal of lifelong friendships and betrayal resonates deeply with many, making it a classic in the eyes of its admirers. However, some viewers find its length excessive and its pacing slow, which can be taxing. Additionally, the treatment of sensitive topics like violence and misogyny has been criticized, detracting from the overall experience for some.

👍 Intricate storytelling and stunning cinematography.

👎 Excessive length and controversial treatment of sensitive topics.

Plus de 3h30, donc forcément quelques longueurs. Un début de film pas forcément très engageant mais une fois vraiment lancé, on ne voit plus le temps passer. Les scènes en exterieur dans le New-York des années 20 ou 30 sont incroyables. Fin étrange.
