I don't like Michelle Pfeiffer, she's the worst. I do like Daniel Day Lewis, he's the best. END OF REVIEW. Almost. Uh I was slightly bored by this movie, and by slightly I mean significantly bored. I get that it's all about vain and shallow people in their own little insular world, but at some point I found that it started to feel like we were expected to latch onto their lives as if we cared. I really didn't. I guess the love story was supposed to be the focal point, but I didn't buy it.

Very solid period piece from Martin Scorsese. What it lacks of pure entertainment value it makes up for with subtlety and great direction. I can't say I count it among his best, however. Maybe it's because the theme of people in high society merely playing roles and never getting to truly live is a bit too familiar, or maybe it's because at nearly 140 minutes the movie does sometimes feel a bit dry; I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it makes The Age of Innocence easier to respect than to love.

A lighter, passionate and more amorous side of Scorsese is born with the Age of Innocence. A fine and dazing period film that is directed with much care and aptitude among MS's expertise. Daniel-Day Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer are one of the best on-screen couples ever, next to Casablanca in my opinion. A rare gem that is apparently not as popular as some other Scorsese classics.

Ranks up there with Goodfellas and Raging Bull. Everything about this movie is just awesome, even the narration which at first kind of bothered me (it feels like that part of the script had quite a few re-writes with a 19th century thesaurus handy), it ended up growing on me.

This superb movie can be described as, in a way, the anti-ROOM WITH A VIEW, in the same way as GOODFELLAS is the anti-GODFATHER. Where ROOM WITH A VIEW was in a sense a dramatic film, even an action film, this is a film in which nothing happens. It is a great shame that I only realised in May 2022 that the Duke is played by Kevin Sanders, who a couple of decades earlier had been a TV news personality in Australia and a great friend of my father (who I'm sure saw this film without noticing him).

About silently-imposed social suffocation, but also about hidden conformism under the posture of rebellion. Somehow affecting and not a light story at all, but still delightingly humorous, with an impressive depiction of the extremely exquisite upper class life in 1870s.

The story of this one is basically genetically engineered in a lab to be the least interesting story on the face of the earth to my tastes, so it’s to Scorsese and DDL’s credit (and Elmer Bernstein’s music) that I still found it watchable…ish. I’m on the exact nebulous “reluctant thumbs up” / “regretful thumbs down” divide. Absolutely worth watching to see Scorsese’s artistry and versatility, but not one going in my regular rotation or anything.

A stunning departure for Scorsese, yet one that embodies his passion for classical cinema style. He utilizes iris shots, slow fades, and moody lighting to capture the tender romance of the movie, but he also occasionally taps into more experimental techniques which reveal the depth of layers at work. The real star is the delicate script, which brings period-appropriate dialogue and a sprawling structure together for a rich and immersive adaptation—surely one of the best for this style of novel

Of course it's not unfamiliar thematic territory, but the exquisite details of suffocating decorum are elevated in the hands of a calibered virtuoso like Scorsese. Textured, tangible, three-dimensional and existing outside the mere confines of the camera frame, an extraordinarily beautiful production design reverent of Visconti or Powell & Pressburger. Seasonal, remembrance of things past, unfulfilled longing after all better to keep and to hold as a precious memory of a cloistered world.

As technically proficient as Goodfellas, although sometimes a little dry, due largely to Pfeiffer's utter lack of sensuality in a story that should be filled with it. Daniel Day Lewis shines, however, disappearing completely into his role (and later, his terrible old-age makeup), furthering my opinion that he may be the greatest, living, American actor.

Who is innocent? On face value, everyone. Under the skin? Even the portrait of innocence May, wears a trumping grin as she catches Newland unarmed after approaching him with fatherhood. Scorsese gives a nod or more a bow to his silent era influences in this departure from at least, modern day New York.

Another Scorsese gem. The cast is, of course, excellent and they all gave great performances. The narration bugged me at first, but I grew to enjoy it as the film progressed. And I'm probably alone here, but many aspects reminded me of Doctor Zhivago. It might also be essential to understanding the genius of Scorsese. it has so much attention to detail and it's so finely crafted that it becomes a real treat for the eyes.

Fantastic production quality but Scorsese's honest storytelling works against the entertainment value of the movie in it's own way. It's a movie that spends a lot of time in form rather then function (just as it's characters do) so we're left a little short in plot. The leads all seem slightly uncomfortable but that too fits the demands of the story. An exceptional job on a moderately interesting movie.

EXCRUCIATINGLY BORING. This film is thematically almost exactly the same as Remains of the Day and is everything ROTD is not: overblown, pretentious, in love with itself and its cinematography (ugh, not another long pan of food), and filled with characters you neither relate to nor care about. Like watching tea evaporate from a porcelain cup of fine china.

A época da Inocência estreava há 30 anos no Festival de Veneza. Já achava obra-prima, mas revendo hoje estou considerando que talvez seja o melhor filme do Scorsese. Existe aqui uma suntuosidade e elegância digna de Visconti, de tudo que deslumbra vou mencionar especialmente a narração da Joanne Woodward encarnando Edith Wharton, raramente gosto de narração em filmes, mas jamais vi uma tão bem trabalhada como esta. Belíssimo. RARBG.

This is a somewhat 'regular' period/costume drama of its type though the cast and the fact its directed by Martin Scorcese did definitely appeal to me. It has some nice settings and it is a somewhat engrossing watch but I can't say I found myself particularly engrossed in the situations faced by the characters. Its a perfectly pleasant watch to have on and its got some amusing and perhaps thoughtful moments but its nothing esp. special or memorable. Not a boring or awful watch, this is ok.

A story of socialites, doing socialite things. The way the characters are just devoid of basic logic really annoys me, the whole story is a set of plot contrivances that build up towards an equally contrived ending. The costumes are pretty, the Victoriana architecture merges well with the feel of the production. Won't be rushing out to watch again, for sure

A man stuck between a traditional, naive woman who is successful at “woman’s jobs”, but not so knowledgeable in fields that “belong to men”, and another woman that breaks the codes of the society just to live the life she wants. Plot develops every single scene and oh, it develops brilliantly. Screenplay is amazing, directing takes the movie to another level(as always), one of the least acknowledged films of arguably the greatest filmmaker of all time.

Period piece that deals with high society mores and a few illicit affairs. While there's not a whole lot of action -- which makes it feel a little long, yet not boring -- there's an intense simmering just below the surface. I normally give a fourth star to movies I'd like to see again; this one deserves it for the amazing costuming and period details and an outstanding cast.

Scorsese channels the spirit of Visconti and Ophuls, but he doesn't have the same thorough understanding of this milieu as they did, so he compensates by employing self conscious camera tricks to distract us from this obvious fact. The acting is decent, but none of the performances are noteworthy, and the story is a pretty generic tale of restrictive social mores. Kudos to Marty for taking a risk, but it's a solid craftsman's piece, nothing more.

Immaculately designed, from the lavish set designs to the score to (some of) the editing, which is all easy on the eyes, though it's just not my cup of tea. I know there's quite the amount of tension and emotional relatability underlying these stuffy and structured social types, but it wasn't in the right style or it wasn't strong enough to reach me and keep my attention for its run-time. I was also put off by anyone fancying Michelle Pfeiffer over Winona Ryder.

Which shouldn't surprise me, since it's a Scorsese movie. :D The least interesting parts where the two romantic leads. Maybe that's what made it so silly. That and the narration.

I really find hard to rate this movie. If not for the last 20-25 minutes, this would be a perfect movie. Every frame is just so meticulously crafted, that is a pleasure to stare. The acting from Michelle Pfeiffer it's just the best I've seen from a woman. And the script, just doesn't need to be great when every scene is visually hypnotic. But the last 20 minutes it just goes a bit cliche and really ruins what could've been a complete masterpiece.

A beautifully composed film, with its exquisitely detailed sets and costumes, that, along with a swirling orchestral score, gracefully sweep you up into 1870s New York. Striking visual edits complete this cinematic package that brings life to what is a very introspective story heavy on narration and light on outward conflict. It's a unique combination that sits nicely in the end but feels a tad too mild and insubstantial at times throughout, despite strong performances from the three leads.

Takes its sweet time getting anywhere, and Michelle Pfeiffer is a little miscast, though Day-Lewis/Ryder fill their roles perfectly (though the narration is great at showing off some of the prose and backstory, it often fell into the obvious when it came to describing the characters, which the leads do a great job of describing themselves visually.) Overall though the story is slow but engaging, and features an exquisitely poignant last act. The opening credits sequence is a bonus too.

Extraordinary study of repression is arguably Scorsese's finest work to date, portrait of a seemingly bloodless view of polite society masterfully conceals the most fiery of passions bubbling under the surface. A brilliant cast aids Scorsese immeasurably (especially Day-Lewis and Pfeiffer) who all prove masters at portraying characters expert at concealing their true motives. Restless camera work creates an unsettling, pressure cooker atmosphere, only underscoring the various emotional dilemmas.

Technically well crafted and has its moments of fine acting but it's maudlin as hell. Still, a mediocre tale about unrequited love and desire Scorsese style is better than most director's efforts. There are times when you can tell that Scorsese was probably more interested in the NY of the 1870's and the intrigue involved with its high class ballrooms and socialites rather than the primary story. Overall, this is alright but an easily forgettable in the Scorsese pantheon of fine films.

"The Age of Innocence", Scorsese's curiously quiet and slow-paced period drama is elevated by high production values but bogged down by a dysfunctional script. Directed exquisitely by the master, as usual, scored elegantly by Bernstein and featuring lush costumes and sets, this uneventful picture is as unfulfilling as its initially promising love story. Despite best efforts by Day-Lewis and Pfeiffer, the romance never really takes off and marks the film as impressive if unremarkable.

I didn't think that Scorsese could have made such a delicate movie. And you notice that the director is really involved with his characteres, and the camera moves passionately, as if he were shooting his old folks at Little Italy. Here, instead of anger, there is kindness, even though the male character finds himself always lonely -- and we all know that Marty is the greatest filmmaker of loneliness.

The visuals are exquisite, but everything else feels a bit tired and overly subdued. Certainly it's done well, except maybe for the overbearing narration, but I've seen it all done better with characters that feel more human and situations that are more interesting. It's not so much that little happens as the fact that everything that happens is viewed through the lens of how it affects the characters, and I never had strong feelings for any of them.

Romantic drama that Scorsese deemed his most violent film. Which I suppose it could be seen as such, in a bloodless kind of way.

Scorsese perfectly nails the vintage novel feeling of the story, and crafts a piece of perfection both in style and content. Remarkable leading performances.

I'm not usually a fan of period romances but this one always kept me entertained, even at 2 hours. The pettiness and passive-aggressive nature of their society was fascinating and funny. Like Larry David's version of hell.

The narration is awful, but other than that this is a fine period romance, with incredibly graceful production design and cinematography and a couple of fine lead performances by Day-Lewis and Pfeiffer. Winona makes incredible eye-candy and doesn't do a bad job of acting either. A surprisingly effective romance from Scorsese.

It's fascinating to watch the shifts these characters make: one slowly breaks away from societal rules and another slowly gets reined in by them. Scorsese shows a talent for handling romance that I hadn't thought him capable of. And some shots are quite remarkable (using candles as framing during the dinner scenes, for example). Besides the narration, the only thing that really bugs me is the way the production design is constantly being shoved in your face.

Subtle and lovely. This is the movie that made me appreciate Michelle Pfiefer as an actress.
