Critic Reviews for Ragtime
All Critics (10) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
Sporadically engaging, Milos Forman's chronicle of American society and culture in the beginning of the twentieth century is too sprawling and dramatically diffuse, though some of the acting is excellent.
Great to see very late Cagney in solid Milos Forman film.
a jumbled and largely uninteresting mess
A robust screen adaptation of Doctorow's novel about class warfare, social change, and the gap between the rich and the poor
Fine, sprawling period piece. A great swan song for Cagney.
Audience Reviews for Ragtime
Doctorow's novel is a tricky thing to adapt, especially with its deliberately elusive ideas about America. Inevitably a lot of materiel was cut or truncated in this movie but there is a lot to admire in Forman's vision here. His focus on the characters inspires a lot of empathy, more than usual in these kinds of period pieces.
Super Reviewer
It drags here and there but mostly a fine epic film
