Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark's history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family's hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities--and whose influence over his impressionable nephew will help make the teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we'll later come to know: Tony Soprano.

Critics Consensus

Even as its storytelling chafes at the edges of its cinematic constraints, The Many Saints of Newark proves The Sopranos' allure is still powerful.

Audience Consensus

Sopranos fans will enjoy seeing younger versions of some of their favorite characters, but the story may confuse casual viewers while frustrating the faithful.

If you were raised in Newark in 1967 you were well aware of what Newark looked like and what occurred during the riots. They shot scenes that were true to form of locations shown, the bus was a real bus line, movie theaters were real theaters that we went to, and the music was what was listened to during that period of time. You have to be of a certain age group to appreciate it for the authenticity of these things. I also liked the way it ended showing the ice cream parlor where the television show ended which is a real location also. James Gandolfini's son was very good as a teenage Tony Soprano as was the portrayal of Frank Lucas from the time. I was happy to be able to go back into a movie theater even wearing a mask and social distancing done after not being able to for a whole year and several months.

Alessandro Nivola is brilliant as Tony’s uncle, Dickie Moltisanti, an unstable explosive who didn’t feature in The Sopranos but whose story provides fascinating insights into characters such as Tony’s mother, Lydia (Vera Farmiga). Expect laughs too.

The Australian

No doubt devotees of the series will have different opinions as to the value of this backstory, but seen in isolation, as an intense and sometimes violent story of a dysfunctional family, the film is richly rewarding in its own right.

Rated: 4/5

Newcomers to the Soprano saga will have no difficulty tuning in. The narrative soon begins to take on the classic lines of authentic tragedy.

The little things can be ignored though – especially if you've never seen the show – in favour of the truly stand out performances, specifically from Nivola, and the brilliantly executed thematic beats.

For fans, though, I can't imagine the disappointment in returning to this world only to find a grey, lifeless husk in its place.

Rick Bentley

KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)

A seamless flow between the TV and movie projects. From the tension that is built around the dinner table to the chaotic gun battles in the street, there is not a single loss of quality.
