The films, in release order

  1. 1The Godfather 1972Francis Ford Coppola’s Mafia family drama earns its length through patient storytelling and performances that make criminal authority disturbingly attractive. The crowded family politics can take some sorting out, but we would recommend it without hesitation.Fi1m 93
  2. 2The Godfather Part II 1974Francis Ford Coppola’s Corleone family history deserves a whole evening and close attention. Around Pacino and Robert De Niro make its account of criminal power deeply upsetting, despite a few cumbersome stretches of political intrigue.Fi1m 92
  3. 3The Godfather Part III 1990Coppola’s last visit to the Corleones is handsomely built and often moving, with Pacino tired and grey and Andy Garcia hungry beside him. But the Vatican plot never comes clear, the daughter is miscast, and at 162 minutes it feels every one of them.Fi1m 63
