I am only an occasional movie-goer (though i the past few years of retirement I've been catching-up via rentals), and "distracting" was my first comment coming out of the theater, referring to the use of the 3D. However, I did think the 3D was well done and drew one's attention to features that would engage teens, preteens and younger.

The story/stories were interesting -the more-so when it dawned on me that this was a Scorsese film. And, you're right, it was about halfway through when I thought I was being lost, until I was able to pick-up the thread.

I'm not so good at critique of acting, partly because its so far beyond what I could do, that I sometimes err on the side of plus. But I did think the acting was good; I wasn't put off by it. With one exception.

This really bugged me: Set in France, Paris, I believe, and the actors all had British accents! I cannot speak French but would have settled for sub-titles, or at very least, French inflections.
