Full reviewWatchable but weirdly obtuse with a tricksy narrative reveal that doesn't add much.
Full reviewUnfortunately, what (Chase) comes up with in this over-plotted Sopranos prequel is much less interesting than what he planted in our heads over six seasons.
Full reviewA busier proposition than its HBO forefather, this sets up more than it can pay off. But it does manage to balance fan-service with plenty of rich, original, complex material.
Full reviewBrilliant performances by Alessandro Nivola and Michael Gandolfini help this prequel become a valuable new addition to the Soprano family.
Full reviewSinewy and smart, it's a rich imaginative leap into the pre-history of an iconic show, and a rare instance of the big screen doing right by the small.
Full reviewThe film's only weakness is Chase's usual failing: he doesn't know how to end anything.
Full reviewThe young Gandolfini... is a gamble paid off. He gives the film lifeblood.
Full reviewThe Many Saints of Newark is available to stream in Australia now on Netflix and Google Play and Apple TV and Foxtel and Binge and Prime Video Store.
