Edith Wharton wrote in a brilliantly minor key, and it is a testament
to Martin Scorsese's genius as a filmmaker that he disciplined
himself to work within Wharton's parameters, instead of trying to
force his trademark kinetic style onto a story of tragic whispering. A
beautiful, heartfelt film, with a superb performance from Daniel
Day-Lewis(really, what else could you expect?).
