The Irishman

Has anyone seen Scorsese's latest, The Irishman, yet?  I thought it was a good movie (although I did use Wikipedia and fast forward), though in some ways I feel it indicates that the director is moving into semi-retired (or retired) docudrama mode.  The movie is slowpaced, the actors look elderly, almost like buffalo, and the movie is ultimately expository more than anything.  I look forward to a time when I can watch it in more detail.  As is, the film is impressive but surprisingly low key, almost the beginning of a new era for Scorsese.
