Mr. Scorsese Docuseries Debuts With 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Fans of Martin Scorsese can celebrate that there is a riveting new TV show revolving around the legendary filmmaker, and that this series seemingly lives up to its namesake. Mr. Scorsese is a docu-miniseries directed by Rebecca Miller that chronicles Martin Scorsese’s career. It features appearances by Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Brian De Palma, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day-Lewis, and more.

Mr. Scorsese has debuted with a 100% critics’ approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewers say that it is straightforward from a documentary filmmaking stance but offers a compelling, insightful look at Scorsese’s life and career, allowing audiences to appreciate his films in a new way. Additionally, some comment that five hours isn’t enough to cover his storied life.

Hailing from New York City, Scorsese has been active as a filmmaker since the early 1960s, making his feature directorial debut with 1967’s Who’s That Knocking at My Door. However, he truly cemented himself in cinematic history with 1976’s Taxi Driver, starring Robert De Niro, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards (losing to Rocky).

De Niro became a frequent collaborator of Scorsese’s, as well as Leonardo DiCaprio later on, making them both fitting guest stars for this miniseries. Martin Scorsese’s best films today include Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Mean Streets, The Departed, The Age of Innocence, The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishmanand many more.

While the director is most famous for examining the greed and corruption prevalent throughout American history, he has proven that he is more than capable of handling other genres. The family-friendly, whimsical period piece Hugo is the foremost example of this, but the Killers of the Flower Moon director’s next feature will also be a mild departure from his usual genre.

Scorsese recently announced What Happens at Nighthis new ghost film starring DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. This marks an on-screen reunion for DiCaprio and Lawrence following Don’t Look Upand is the first time Scorsese will be directing Lawrence, after he produced her 2025 film Die, My Love. What Happens at Night will follow a couple who stumble upon a seemingly haunted hotel.

At 82 years old, we can still expect Martin Scorsese to dominate theaters and awards shows with breathtaking epics that stand among the best films made today. As moviegoers wait for What Happens at Nightthey can turn to Mr. Scorsese to better understand what goes into a career like this, which has doubtlessly provided us with some of the best movies ever made.
