The decades have been kind to A Bronx Tale; years later, this is a movie that has only gotten better with age.

| Jan 17, 2024

In stepping behind the camera for the first time, Robert De Niro hits it a home run with A Bronx Tale.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2023

A morality tale brought off with a great amount of style and conviction.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 14, 2023

A solid piece of storytelling...

| Oct 11, 2022

Most generically pigeonholed as a mafia or crime movie. And while a murder and a mobster are integral to its plot, the balls it breaks and the heads it busts are incidental to its power as a coming-of-age story stretching from 1960 to 1968.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 5, 2022

De Niro deepens his portrait of a son and two fathers with a wonderfully expansive sense of place and time.

| May 14, 2018

It's a cautious, capable start to De Niro's directing career.

It's the moralistic tenor of A Bronx Tale that's ultimately most off-putting.

| Original Score: C | Oct 19, 2006

De Niro's feature directorial debut is not a second-tier Scorsese film. Though telling a familiar coming-of-age story, it finds a new angle in depicting the irrational and subconscious origins of racism.

It paints a fairly accurate and hard-hitting picture of the racial tensions of the times, but it still glamorizes the gangsters with too much love.

| Original Score: B | Dec 25, 2005

Beautiful story

De Niro proves to be just as much a force behind the camera as he does in front of it. A superb debut - a gripping movie.
