Whether you feel that the end of “The Sopranos” — you know, that controversial fade to black — was fitting and poignant or anti-climactic and unsatisfying, you probably jumped at the news that a “Sopranos” movie was in the works.

Alan Taylor directs this look back at the early years of the iconic TV mobster, with Vera Farmiga, Jon Bernthal and Ray Liotta in supporting roles.
