Beautiful, epic & a bit slow

This film is beautifully made, and has all the signs that it was made with a lot of attention to details like the settings, the costumes, the characters (Dickensian almost), even the color tones of the film - muted and slightly browned to feel like a classic rather than a harsh colors of a thriller. I took 4 boys between 9 & 12, and all of them endorsed it, although none with the sort of cheer as - say - Deathly Hallows Pt 2. I think the movie really made the boys think and watch & appreciate the story-telling of a master like Scorcese (although of course they'd have no clue who the man is!) My reservation (my wife concurs) was that it was a bit on the slow moving side, and we both felt it could have been edited down by at least 15-20 minutes. Overall, a lovely, lyrical story, told beautifully on screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
