Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? A Geek Community How I Fell in Love With a Gangster has the core of a really solid film, but its lack of selective editing results in a somewhat arduous three-hour watch. Rated: 7/10 Jan 5, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut How I Fell in Love with a Gangster is too overwrought with style and uneven in its storytelling to be taken seriously. Rated: 2/5 Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider It’s a bit too long, but I Fell In Love With a Gangster relishes in that time spent with a central criminal character who could always grin his way out of trouble, right up until he couldn’t. Feb 9, 2022 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media Most of the elements of a good gangster crime drama are here, but unfortunately, they don't make for a good movie. Rated: 2/5 Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Aurora Amidon Paste Magazine The roadmap to the flashy gangster flick is a tried-and-true formula, and Nikos' life lives up to the flair. Rated: 7.1/10 Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation Does "most renowed Polish criminal" Nikos Skotarczak 's life and career justify this sluggish, three-hour plus saga-length treatment? As a non-Pole, I have to say "nie bardzo." Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Eric U Great movie. May not be for everyone, but very well done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful movie, wasted time. Script was All Over the place. Just awful Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Beware - it's a long one! The great things about it: 1. Cinematography - truly great combination of colour grading, cuts, camera motion, montage, composition (some of the framing and composition is a feast). Also the timeline and narration is a rarely used 4th wall breaking within the 4th wall. 2. Music - there is a lot of good things happening there, and an absolutely unexpected gem were Wardruna's songs on the soundtrack. 3. Characters - some real actorship to be seen, and the main character is insanely likeable all throughout Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member niepotrzebnie rozwleczony i wymęczony. Jest wszystko i jest nic, przez co strasznie męczy widza. Powinni się skupić na krótszym okresie - lepiej by to wyszło Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is style of substance. Very glossy look. Way too much exposition at the start, poor use of music, very slow start... And you don't link onto any of the characters. They feel fake rather than real. I'm sure it's going to get alot of praise, because it's highlighting Sopot, Gdansk and that lovely area of Poland. But as films go. Poor protagonists, and weak dialogue. The errors we on the page, way before it hit the production and post editing. Executive producers shouldn't have signed off on this Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Some may say it's too long and boring, but it is a great, layered story followed with awesome music. From time to time, I felt like I'm watching theatre play. Actors did great job, level up production and it is nice to see such work from europan country. Don't give up, it's worth to watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
