Reviews

Rolling Stone -
Gangs of New York is something better than perfect: It's thrillingly alive.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Everything is vast and hugely ambitious in Martin Scorsese's magisterial, scrambled historical epic.
|
|
USA Today -
If Martin Scorsese's staggeringly ambitious one-of-a-kind finally has too many flaws to be great, it has as much greatness in it as any movie this year.

|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Rips up the postcards of American history and reassembles them into a violent, blood-soaked story of our bare-knuckled past.
|
|
New York Daily News -
The movie turns choppy in the final third, but it is a monumental achievement nonetheless.
