Roger Ebert

"The Departed" is about two men trying to live public lives that are the radical opposites of their inner realities.

The New York Times

What helps make 'The Departed' at once a success and a relief isn’t that the director of 'Kundun,' Mr. Scorsese’s deeply felt film about the Dalai Lama, is back on the mean streets where he belongs; what’s at stake here is the film and the filmmaking, not the director’s epic importance.

The Hollywood Reporter

The Departed is a robust piece of storytelling and his best film since Casino in 1995.

Roger Ebert

"Everybody's saying "The Departed" is Martin Scorsese's best picture since "Casino" -- or even "GoodFellas." I'll go out on a limb and say I think it's his best picture since "The Aviator.""

The Guardian

Martin Scorsese has got his groove back, or most of it, with what is arguably his best picture since GoodFellas.

BBC

"As cat chases mouse (or rat chases rat), Scorsese delivers his best mob movie since Goodfellas."

IMDb

Not only is it the best film of the year so far, it marks a return to form for Martin Scorsese, and ranks with the likes of GOODFELLAS as being one of the best in his canon of films.

My father grew up in Boston and when we walked out of the theater he couldn't stop talking about how authentic the environment and attitude was.
