    Rgatime is a loving, beautifully mounted, graceful film that creates its characters with great clarity.
  2. The movie is sorrowful, funny and beautiful. It is also, finally, very unsatisfactory.

    Except for the evocative sets and Randy Newman's upbeat musical score, Ragtime is better read than seen. [18 Dec 1981]
