Every great director has to do a period piece. This film is Scorsese's.
The filming , the colors, the costumes, the acting, the way the characters can speak volumes with just a glance. All these are done perfectly.
But just in case you don't get it there's a voice over to explain every thing to you. And in case you still don't get it, she's going to explain it a couple more times.
Why can't Scorsese tell a story visually? This isn't a book, it's a movie! A good movie, but it can't be great if it can't tell the story by itself.
