A small group of teen girls in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts caught in an innocent conjuring of love potions to catch young men are forced to tell lies that Satan had invaded them and forced them to participate in the rites and are then forced to name those involved. Thrown into the mix are greedy preachers and other major landowners trying to steal others' land and one young woman infatuated with a married man and determined to get rid of his innocent wife. Arthur Miller wrote the events and the subsequent trials where those who demanded their innocence were executed, those who would not name names were incarcerated and tortured, and those who admitted their guilt were immediately freed as a parable of the Congressional Communist witch hunts led by Senator Joe McCarthy in 1950's America.
Leave your thoughts about The Crucible.
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe Crucible earned two Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Allen) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Miller), but it should have received many more, including one for Best Picture -- it's truly one of the great forgotten films of its era. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewHytner holds the action together with solid, unflashy, well-paced direction, ensuring that this is no mere period piece but a compelling, pertinent account of human fear, frailty and cold ambition. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatCompels us to recognize the shadow side of our lives, including the evil inside us. |
| Empire MagazinePhilip ThomasIn this almost perfect screen adaptation, the lingering question is the most important one: what caused such madness? |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksWhen you compare this story with more recent historical events, in which small American towns have been turned upside-down by prejudice and paranoia, it doesn't seem so far removed from the late 20th century. |
| EmpirePhillip ThomasIn this almost perfect screen adaptation, the lingering question is the most important one: what caused such madness? |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannDirector Nicholas Hytner doesn't soften or cosmeticize Miller's tale -- it's often uncomfortable to watch -- and he draws an emotional pitch from his actors that helps us understand the mob fury and irrational fear that make a situation like the one in Salem possible. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaPerfectly captures the air of hysteria and paranoia. |
| ReelViewsJames Berardinelli[The film] occasionally had me convulsed with laughter. |
| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsThe Crucible works wonders as a tragic romance, a stirring drama, and as a cautionary tale. |
