About

Crucible exists as an opportunity to explore the ways in which films, past and present, have engaged the difficult truths that come with being human, through the lens of a Christian worldview.

Criterion Collection Reviews

Occasionally we review a film that is a part of the Criterion Collection.

From Criterion Collection: “Since 1984, the Criterion Collection has been dedicated to publishing important classic and contemporary films from around the world in editions that offer the highest technical quality and award-winning, original supplements. No matter the medium—from laserdisc to DVD and Blu-ray to streaming—Criterion has maintained its pioneering commitment to presenting each film as its maker would want it seen, in state-of-the-art restorations with special features designed to encourage repeated watching and deepen the viewer’s appreciation of the art of film.”
