United States	Randy White Common Sense Media	"The production looks stark and some may find it hard to follow, but the fine performances make it captivating. Hoffman gives a quiet but mesmerizing performance (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Brian Case Time Out	"[Reid, Malkovich and Lang are] terrific, trapped in the hell of the unattainable American Dream (...) Hoffman hadn't been on the stage for 17 years, and it shows."	NEU
United States	John J. O'Connor The New York Times	"[The result] is as powerful and magnificent a performance of the play as is likely to be seen in this generation"	POS
United Kingdom	Emma Cochrane Empire	"Miller's play justifies its reputation as one of the twentieth century's best, and the performances are everything he could have asked, but the limited staging lessens the impact significantly (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
