* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The De-Aging effects, while some found it either a bit weird or taking some time to getting use to, are largely impressive as a whole for its three leads, especially considering the limitations that Scorsese placed on the visual effects teams.[[labelnote:Note]] Normally the type of effects used would be done using the actors with specific markers either drawn or attached to their faces, in order for the artists to apply the effect accurately by tracking the markers in 3D space. Scorcese didn't want to lose the drama of the scenes with having his star actors covered in polka dots, so the VFX team figured out ways to track the actors' faces and expressions completely marker free using infrared tracking.[[/labelnote]]

** The ending. Dear ''GOD,'' the ending. [[spoiler:Sheeran's friends are all dead either due to their Mafia lifestyles or just getting old, his own family doesn't want to talk to him anymore, he can barely walk and he has to pick out his own funeral arrangements because no one else will. The final shot, in particular, is a gut punch as he doesn't talk much with the priest and is waiting on death's door. He asks the priest to leave the door open slightly, as he doesn't want to feel completely shut off from the world as he does now]]. Scorsese is no stranger to DownerEnding, but this one takes the cake.

Creator/RobertDeNiro wasn’t nominated in any category, and there's speculation that Creator/JoePesci and Creator/AlPacino both being up for Best Supporting Actor caused the votes to be split between them, allowing Creator/BradPitt to get the win instead.

** Frank's many conversations with Hoffa following the latter's release from prison become more and more tragic as it becomes clear that Hoffa is going to be wacked. Their final conversation before the deed is done has Frank ''begging'' Jimmy to back down and understand how serious the situation has become. Hoffa doesn't, fully confident that mafia wouldn't have the stones to do it. [[ForegoneConclusion He's wrong.]]

* OneSceneWonder: Quite a few actually. Scorcese does a brilliant job in this film of getting great performances from many small roles. Here are some notable examples:
**Angelo Bruno (Harvey Keitel in the only scene he has lines) grilling Frank about the attempted bombing of his industrial laundry service.
**Whispers Detullio (Paul Herman) putting Frank up to the bombing in the first place.
**And fans of Series/TheSopranos will certainly get a chuckle out of seeing Silvio Dante himself (Steve Van Zandt) crooning on stage as Jerry Vale.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Quite a few critics were confused at why an actress of Creator/AnnaPaquin's caliber would be hired to play a character who speaks a grand total of ''seven words''. Paquin herself was quick to shut this down, saying she leaped at the chance to work with the legendary Martin Scorsese no matter how small the part was.

Paquin herself was quick to shut this down, saying she leaped at the chance to work with the legendary Martin Scorsese no matter how small the part was. It has also been pointed out how her lack of talking is very crucial to the character's resentment towards Frank and her one line plays to the overall final fallout with her father.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The de-aging technology used for the film did have its limits. The flashbacks to Frank's World War II service have Sheeran in his mid-20s, but in the scene of him executing the two German soldiers he looks more like he's in his early 40's or maybe late 30s at best. Compare to how Robert De Niro looked in ''Film/MeanStreets'' or ''Film/TheGodfatherPartII'', which were filmed when he was in his late 20s.
