Irritating... It felt like Scorcese worked a lot in some scenes, wanting us to get the smaller picture, the day to day, the more personal perspective... but the characters don't evolve and you feel you are just stuck with very long repetitive scenes, with huge gaps between them. The performances are so exaggerated that you get confused to the point that you might actually be looking at a film like Bridesmaids or Superbad, except that this time, you are watching a true story.
