Movie Reviews of The Age of Innocence
Movie Review: Scorsese's Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably my favorite film. It captures the period in old NYC beautifully...each scene is a work of art. The color, sets, props, attention to detail and cinematography leave something new for each time you see it. And the costumes...magnificent...totally worthy of the Oscar. But more than anything, Daniel Day-Lewis' performance as the tortured male protagonist is spectacular...totally believable and he's never looked better...there's something about those British actors. :) Michelle and Wynona...nicely acted as well. If you are a romantic, this tale of unrequited love is perfect. It's smoldering, sensual without being blatant. All things considered, I think this is Scorsese's masterpiece.Movie Review: Elegance Inexpressively Captured!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot write anymore kinder words about this movie than what the previous reviewers have said here. Here is what I can say. If you like period pieces, this movie will not disappoint. Scorsese made this picture in a style reminiscent of old Hollywood when time was taken to tell a story and you weren't confronted with vulgar humor, meaness of spirit, and explosions every few minutes.THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is simply timeless and elegance inexpressively captured on film from the opeining credits to the end credits.
Movie Review: SIX STARS
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Martin Scorcese's best, and that's saying a lot. Reams could be written about it; the costumes, sets, even the plates of food - the controlled, seething passion of Daniel Day-Lewis. This is his best since "The Incredible Lightness of Being". Another book turned into great film. I loved every moment, word, breath. Truly captures Wharton's book. And the flavor of early New York City, at least it's upper crust. Much credit should be given to Winona Ryder here. A very nuanced performance. Watch her face.Movie Review: Period Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The Age of Innocence will go down in the books as a true early American Classic full of fortitude and intergity! This movie simply "Class A" cinemology at it's finest! A good story line, capturing the period of the early New York Society with great acting exhibited by Jeremy Irons, Michele Pfeiffer, and Wynona Ryder. Showing the struggle between desire and temptation, right and worng and the consequences of doing the honorable thing when honorable is right. If you love period films you will love this movie.Movie Review: The Age of Innocence
Summary: 5 Stars
I fell in love with this movie from the first time I saw it in the early 90's. The Actors were brilliant and so believable. Martin Scorsese wonderfully captured all of the nuances we take for granted and brought them to the forefront in this movie. I have watched this movie more times than care to tell. I also love Joanne Woodward's narrative above each scene coaxing you to take notice of an aspect about the movie you probably wouldn't have even thought to consider.
