Isla L Sep 12 A heart wrenchingly moving film with suspense and a chill across your spine when Winona comes in to the scene. As for Mr Daniel day Lewis all I can say is my man you were born in the wrong era. Most films do not move me to tears but this was like nothing other I’ve ever seen and worth the watch.

The speech at the end is beyond powerful and sticks with you See more May 15 When first watched The Crucible I must admit that it really did scared me more than the horror movies do. It was both quiet and energetic at the same time that I can’t really find the word to describe it. It’s a minimalist looking movie and really makes you feel like in it. The acting was on its point! It was so good and especially Winona Ryder! She was amazing!!!! The whole cast it self is so good and performances are phenomenal. But I have to warn you it’s a bit stressful and if you haven’t read the play you don’t know what’s coming next. See more Blu B Dec 25 A Lewis & Ryder Classic. It's solidly made all around. Really good costume design, great camerawork, direction, and score. Love Ryder but I HATE her in this in a good way lol. Paul Scofield is really good in this and is arguably the best thing. I think the biggest problem here is there is so many people involved in this "conspiracy"/trial that outside of John & Abigail & the Justices there really isn't that much in the way of character development. All the girls blend in together for the most part and with so many other people accused it's hard to remember all of them, differentiate them, and sympathize on a individual level. John sort of becomes the embodiement of all the accused but it focuses a third of the time on the others. The best part is when he confesses to the affair and they bring his wife in. It's a shame the final 20 minutes after can't really sustain the momentum of that moment. The trial itself is the strongest moments compared to the drama with John. It can also be a little dull to look at because of the grey overcast constantly but never lifeless to it's credit. Also, the acting can be a bit over the top and theater like at times. To it's credit the dialouge is a modern style old english that makes perfect sense 90% of the time which I appreciated too. It's overall a really good fictional take on how the trials could've happened but has trouble giving character to so many people involved. Anyone who is a fan of any actors in this, the director, the source material, or wants to learn about the Trials should check this out. See more helder f 10/12/2024 This movie is a bit of a headache, but worth a watch.. It’s is a succession of unfair and cruel events without any sort of reprieve. There’s too much shouting and screaming! And it is nerve wrecking… There’re surely many ways of telling a story and we can imagine a far more soothing movie. But the story is unfortunately believable. A good reminder of human’s cruelty. Not any kind of cruelty but a specific kind of cruelty, coming under disguise of goodness and purity. - something that Americans tend to be especially prone to, A good reminder of betrayal trauma, where places that are expected to protect us, fail us.
