The period is shown with such distinctiveness, such ravishing beauty, such completely appropriate indulgence. The tale is unraveled subtlely and with a depth of emotion and moral ambiguity. Scorsese himself has called it the most violent film he has ever made, for whilst no one is shot it is a film in which a great deal of pain, emotional and not physical, is caused both between characters and also by the regime the characters find themselves in - one of hypocrisy, pettiness and pretension.

Well acted and pleasing on the eye. The narration went on too long - Scorsese could have found some subtler ways of moving the narrative forward, in this captivating and moving story.

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.

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 narration was brutal but message is clear and easily transferable to modern society.

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.

winona!!!!!!!!!!!! fell in love with her... :)

I was disappointed by this, but I couldn't call it a bad film. Visually it is beautiful, but I found the characters to be mostly very stodgy and uninteresting. I am particularly perplexed by Winona Ryder's Oscar nomination.

Another New York story from Scorsese. It was obvious that Scorsese directed this film, like other biographies of him.

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

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.

well decorated by fashion artist and well performed by beautiful actresses love story. But...After it I had a feeling than every love is rewarded by another one. Every bit of love....must be.......rewarded

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.

Scorsese with less intense material and he still does wonders. Day-Lewis is great as always and his leading ladies Pfeiffer and Ryder give powerful efforts also. Beautiful to look at and while not the director's greatest achievement, its still a gem.
