Restoration Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Restoration avoids the pitfalls of pious historical reconstructions and plunges right into the cauldron.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
The movie takes on a somber, fitful atmosphere of straining epic proportions. But it strays into an episodic bog that leaves it gasping for dramatic life.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Since the robust 17th-century picaresque tale is not enjoying any current vogue, the success of "Restoration" can be considered a very pleasant surprise.
USA Today
Mike Clark
What virtues the movie has are cosmetic.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Solid entertainment, especially in a season when Hollywood's releases are repeatedly causing grimaces.
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Carol Cling
Gorgeous, witty romp that
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
An interesting evocation of a decadent era marked by opulence, excess and abject poverty. But works equally well as a study of personal redemption amidst the turmoil.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Even when all decked out in foppish finery, looking absolutely ridiculous to the objective eye, [Downey] can't find a way to focus your attention on him. Instead, in looking at him, all you can do is wonder: How much did those duds cost?
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The film is overcome by the rumbling workings of a creaky plot as the story grows more serious.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Lively, lavish and grandly acted pageant.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
While this sly and sumptuous new film offers just the single word as its title, it will make you think of all you learned about Restoration comedy -- and drama -- in that long-ago History of the Theater 101 course.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A garishly gilded, gloriously overstuffed costume drama.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Ryan's hilariously out of place, but this is otherwise an entertaining yarn.

Dragan Antulov
Despite its flaws, Restoration proves that Hollywood can at times treat history in satisfying manner.
