Not really a documentary, it’s more of a feature-length monologue by Scorsese discussing his personal background and then providing anecdotes on a series of his more popular movies (he skips many!).
A fun time, because Scorsese is always an interesting character – but hardly substantial. Of course, if you really like Scorsese, then…
NB: for those who are interested in seeing it, this feature can be found on the second disc of the ‘The Departed’ special edition DVD
