Once Upon a Time in America

Decades after leaving New York’s Lower East Side, a former gangster returns to confront memories and regrets from his criminal youth. Spanning generations, the story explores friendship, ambition, loyalty, romance, violence, and the lasting consequences of choices made during a changing America.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate patient, atmospheric gangster epics such as The Godfather Part II, but Not for you if you prefer concise plots, brisk pacing, or lighter subject matter.
