A movie of stolen moments, arranged meetings and outright lies, The Age of Innocence is potentially anything but what that title suggests.

Full Review | Oct 16, 2023

Scorsese has made 42 features but is mostly known for his six movies about organized crime. With “Age,” Scorsese stepped far out of his comfort zone and delivered one of the finest films, not only of his career, but from anyone over the last 50 years.

Life in the New York of the eighteen-seventies may have been constrained, but it was never dull—not if Scorsese’s camera is anything to go by.

Joanne Woodward's narration is soothing without ever being folksy, while the closing scene, a shattering portrait of unbearable poignancy and regret, remains one of Scorsese's strongest endings...

The Age of Innocence is a luxurious work of art.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 15, 2023

... a magnificent piece of filmmaking, rich and textured and at times lovingly mannered as Scorsese appropriates and integrates silent movie devices into his yesteryear portrait.

Few endings are as important to the final perception of a movie as is the ending of The Age of Innocence. Martin Scorsese is obsessed with all the timelines of New York, and Daniel Day-Lewis is from another planet. Full review in Spanish

Scorsese's career is filled with New York stories; however, they rarely take place in such fine surroundings.

This is a magical tribute to a long-gone world. And in the tradition of the great films of romantic heartbreak, it leaves us in an after- glow of yearning.

It is a gentle, beautiful and artistic film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

Scorsese never lets us forget he's an outsider looking in, tiptoeing through the material as if he's afraid of bumping the porcelain off the lacquered "oriental" end tables.

The Age of Innocence is vivid, even feverish, in its sensuous focus on detail.

Full Review | Aug 22, 2019

Scorsese's camera caresses meticulous mise en scène, creating an opulent world that showcases the characters' materialism, underlining both their social standing and determination to keep up appearances.

Scorsese has altered the emotional balance of the story by casting his female leads so perversely-which increases the scope and intensity of the pathos.

Full Review | Aug 14, 2018

A consistent spellbinder, laying bare its inhabitants' follies and furies with a tender touch and a vigilant quietude that accumulates into a grand force.

Full Review | Aug 7, 2018

Following Wharton's example, Scorsese accepts The Age of Innocence's flamboyantly wealthy and corrupt characters as they are without indulging in fashionably retrospective editorializing.

one of the greatest and most devastating films about the agonies of doomed love

As a cinematic exercise, The Age of Innocence is technical mastery of the highest order, yet as emotional catharsis it never quite delivers.
