A Disappointment

Mixed Reviews
The opinions on The Many Saints of Newark were decidedly mixed, some critics were fans. YouTuber Shaurya Chawla said "If you're a fan of The Sopranos, rejoice cause THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK is the gabagool you ordered. It's got the makings of a varsity athlete too (for the most part)."
Lots of Opinions
Glen Kenny wrote on RogerEbert.com that "It's been a while since I've experienced a cinematic disappointment on the level of The Many Saints of Newark."
Any Fresh Ideas?
"My review of The Many Saints of Newark: If it wasn't tied to The Sopranos, and every character had a different name, it would be critically & universally panned," wrote critic Danny Bags. "It's a story we heard a million times, and not well told. But, Vera Farmiga is good 7.3/10."
For The 'Sopranos' Superfans
The general consensus seems to be that The Many Saints of Newark isn't reinventing the wheel, but it is a worthy outing for Sopranos superfans.
