Once Upon a Time in America Ratings & Reviews
- kennethgilbert967June 7, 2025Five stars
- Brian Cooper3d agoWhew!! Holy boredom, Batman! This was an unenjoyable viewing. This movie just never clicked for me. I had the same experience with “Once Upon A Time In The West”. Each film featured very good actors, but that didn’t help. What’s interesting is both were directed by Sergio Leone. I am surprised because Leone collaborated with Clint Eastwood in a trilogy of westerns culminating in their masterpiece, “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly” and I never get tired of them. I can’t say the same for Mr. Leone’s “Once Upon A Time” duo, they’re both a snore-fest! 🥱💤😴🛌

- Joe OsJune 29, 2025Was gonna watch this until I seen there is 25+ add breaks !. I know they gotta make a buck, but that's out and out taking the fucking piss.
- Elliot047February 21, 2026Watched this film in 2 days, and still loved it. Fantastic! The entire film unfolds like an old diary, everything is so visceral and mesmerising that you can't ignore the beauty.

- mkplecoJanuary 23, 2026A lot of drama. Not much dialogue so it keeps you guessing every scene.
- PringulAugust 13, 2025An incredible movie with great characters. The score and how it ties everything together gives you a great film and an immersive experience.
- mickerdooJuly 11, 2025A masterpiece. Devastating at moments. Begging the lead to do different things but a true grit and grime tale.
