Day-Lewis and Pfeifer are on top form with Ryder giving the performance of her career.
September 22, 2008
An extraordinarily sumptuous piece of filmmaking.

I don't know any of those [prior] versions, and I wonder how (which means I doubt that) they avoided the snare that Wharton unwittingly set for her adapters, the snare that, for all his gifts, caught Scorsese.

Spurning Masterpiece Theatre twittiness, Scorsese cuts to the primal passions of Wharton's tale.

The Age of Innocence drags through some of the usual costume movie elements, but Scorsese's exuberance carries the show.
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.

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.

A stylish but fairly forgettable Scorsese effort
February 01, 2010
Manages to be both personal and true to its source, though it never quite comes together.
February 09, 2006
Scorsese's most poignantly moving film.
