the for pay movie critic rave about the age of innocence often grant it their high rating . gush about the color and soundtrack and nuanced screenplay and understated acting and this be for many the best of 1993 and a coup de grace for mr. scorsese . maybe so . sure and the color and and their us be brilliant and clever . the soundtrack and score be very good and likewise the acting . but the pacing of the movie be too slow . i be tell that the movie transport you to 1870s upper class new york . it just like you be there . so what . the point of movie be to tell a story and but during the tell this viewer nearly fell asleep .
