A stylish but fairly forgettable Scorsese effort
December 01, 2005
The movie seems a departure from Scorsese's turf of violence and lower class men, but Wharton's depiction of rigid milieu with its restrictive mores and emotional repression bears resemblance to Little Italy's male subculture.

Day-Lewis and Pfeifer are on top form with Ryder giving the performance of her career.
May 26, 2006
The Age of Innocence drags through some of the usual costume movie elements, but Scorsese's exuberance carries the show.

Mr. Scorsese has made a big, intelligent movie that functions as if it were a window on a world he had just discovered, and about which he can't wait to spread the news.
February 01, 2010
Gorgeously shot, deceptively genteel period drama. Day-Lewis, Ryder and in particular Pfieffer give performances as polished as the silver and the result is slow, subtle but irresistibly powerful.

Scorsese's most poignantly moving film.
September 22, 2008
An extraordinarily sumptuous piece of filmmaking.

Manages to be both personal and true to its source, though it never quite comes together.
