      Audience Member Almost felt like I was watching a play. Great acting and moving story which deserved a higher budget than this picture. If you can ignore the poor editing and camerawork then you will enjoy this story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Once Upon A Time in Queens is about a old Mafia Boss gets released from prison and has issues re-adjusting to society and re-connecting to people. Conditions of his bail forces him not to mix with the people that he used to run with and he has unresolved issues with his daughter and health problems. The movie is good but I would advise it would have been better in novel form. The movie for for the grown ups no kiddies allowed not because of violence or anything that can be seen more because of the subject matter. It reminded me of Driving Miss Daisy and The Shaw-shank Redemption Italian mafia version :) A decent story i leave up to you to decide if you want to watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible editing makes it unwatchable, which is a shame because here and there, scenes are good. And acting isn't bad per se. Just totally bobbled in the editing room. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Brent McKnight Seattle Times A fantastic cast comes together to create a funny, poignant portrait of a man trying to cope with his past, and a present he doesn't fully comprehend. Rated: B Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Cameron Meier Orlando Weekly Rodriguez's film would be nothing without Sorvino, as the veteran actor seems born to play this part. Rated: 2/5 Apr 2, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
