The New York Times

""Extraordinary...beautifully observed. [Liev] Schreiber registers changes in emotional temperature with organic physical precision. [Scarlett] Johansson melts into her character so thoroughly that her nimbus of celebrity disappears.""

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

Associated Press

""Although Eddie Carbone, [Arthur] Miller's doomed Brooklyn longshoreman, is inarticulate and confused about his feelings, there is an odd nobility to the man, particularly in Liev Schreiber's mesmerizing performance in a powerful revival of the play.... [Scarlett] Johansson, making her Broadway debut, is a revelation, giving a shaded, nuanced performance.""

Associated Press

Michael Kuchwara

Variety

""First-rate... [director Gregory] Mosher has instilled in his outstanding cast an unconditional trust in Arthur Miller's text, evoking a time, a place and a 1950s blue-collar community with penetrating integrity. Each scene flows seamlessly from the one before in a production that expertly plants the seeds of inexorable tragedy yet grips with a tension and volatility that make every moment seem unpredictable.""

Variety

David Rooney

The New Yorker

"“The revival of Arthur Miller’s 1955 play A View from the Bridge is a singular astonishment: a kind of theatrical lightning bolt that sizzles and startles at the same time, illuminating the poetry in the play’s prose and the subtlety in its streamlined construction.”"

The New Yorker

John Lahr

New York Daily News

"Arthur Miller's 1955 portrait of a fatally obsessed longshoreman, A View from the Bridge still packs a heckuva wallup. That’s indisputable from the Broadway revival anchored by Liev Schreiber, who’s excellent as expected, and Scarlett Johansson, whose New York debut is startlingly good."

New York Daily News

Joe Dziemianowicz

New York Post

"“At the end of the day, you just can’t beat a good, taut yarn. And that’s exactly what Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge is, barreling down toward an ending that’s as shocking as it is inescapable.”"

New York Post

Elisabeth Vincentelli

NY1

"“It’s no secret that Arthur Miller was aiming for Greek tragedy when he wrote A View from the Bridge, and so it’s fitting that the current Broadway revival would cast a couple of titans in two key roles. Led by Liev Schreiber and Jessica Hecht, we get a shattering view of the Miller classic.”"
