    Rgatime is a loving, beautifully mounted, graceful film that creates its characters with great clarity.

    The page-turning joys of E.L. Doctorow's bestselling Ragtime, which dizzily and entertainingly charted a kaleidoscopic vision of a turn-of-century America in the midst of intense social change, have been realized almost completely in Milos Forman's superbly crafted screen adaptation.
  3. 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]
