Critic Reviews of "The Scarlet Letter"
Chicago ReaderAugust 04, 2009"Freely adapted from the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne," the credits say cautiously. I'll say.
VarietyMarch 26, 2009A very '90s take on a 1660s tale written in 1850, as a picture of early colonial life it's about as convincing as Pocahontas.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Not only does the film bear little resemblance to the source novel, but it's cluttered with ridiculous symbolism.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004If you've read the book you won't know the ending. Let's just say that Indians with flaming arrows come to the rescue. They manage to keep a straight face, which is more than anyone in the audience will be able to do.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 13, 2001Though it's unclear what the audience would be for a faithful rendition of the Hawthorne novel, the question of who would ever want to see this one is murkier still.
Common Sense MediaNovember 16, 2010Slaughter, sin, and sex in classic-turned-movie misfire.
TV GuideAugust 04, 2009Rage, love, defiance, confusion, fear -- Moore just sticks out her chin and makes her eyes brim with tears. She's the stolidly immovable object at the film's center, and there's no getting around her.
Film4August 04, 2009Despite the cast taking themselves very seriously indeed, The Scarlet Letter is a great comic turn, complete with cod-accents and other period jiggery-pokery.
Nitrate OnlineMay 19, 2005Oh, Roland Joffé, thy free adaptation of the Hawthorne classic didst produce abudant derisive laughter. Didst thou once direct 'The Killing Fields?'
Nick's Flick PicksAugust 31, 2004For anyone who's ever wondered why Hawthorne left out the mute servants, red cockatoos, and rolls in the proverbial hay. As Hawthorne himself would say: "Ignominious!"
