Critics' reviews

"There are moments throughout the two-hour premiere of HBO’s pop-music drama “Vinyl” that will make you sit up and say, oh, yeah, Martin Scorsese directed this. (...) The “Vinyl” pilot isn't great Scorsese (...) But its best parts stand comparison to pretty good Scorsese"

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"'Vinyl's' premiere, which is plenty movie-like, could arguably stand alone as Scorsese’s most satisfying film since 'The Departed'"

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"'Ferocious' is actually a fairly good word to describe both Cannavale’s stellar turn and Vinyl’s two-hour premiere directed by Scorsese"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"Any fan of Scorsese's’ 1990 master work, “Goodfellas” will quickly see the mob film’s DNA here (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of five)"

Don Kaplan: New York Daily News
"The two-hour premiere is directed beautifully by Martin Scorsese, unfolding in terrain well-loved by the director — the mean streets of early 1970s New York City."

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"The pilot for the musical drama 'Vinyl' is one of Martin Scorsese’s best films"

Matt Zoller Seitz: Vulture
"The two-hour premiere is absolutely stunning. You get all of the Scorsese trademarks"

Brian Moylan: The Guardian
