The Miracle Worker Ratings & Reviews
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
It's at once infuriating, saddening, inspirational, and triumphant; and during each of these phases, it's also highly, unforgettably emotional.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
This is a work that's raw, uncomfortable, and in-your-face.
Photoplay
Janet Graves
Simple, powerful, unsentimental, this version of the stage hit is a real movie.
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
When it came out, The Miracle Worker was seen as dynamic and rule-breaking; in today's lights, it's a finely crafted film, well-acted, a bit stiff.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Outstanding movie based on life of Helen Keller.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke give intense, powerful Oscar-winning performances in Arthur Penn's successful screen version of the Helen Keller story, based on William Gibson's play.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
The centerpiece is a one-room, nine-minute war of attrition, as a tutor (Anne Bancroft) imposes table manners on her feral charge (Patty Duke). It's a heaving, shin-cracking donnybrook, done with complete commitment.
Variety
Where the picture really excels, outside of its inherent story values, is in the realm of photographic technique.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Beautiful black-and-white cinematography, startling performances, and harrowing physicality… the cathartic final scene is nothing short of transcendent.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Notable not just for its earnestness and two outstanding performances (both won Oscars) -- it's also got one of the longest catfights in cinema history.
Apollo Guide
Scott Renshaw
Portrays a literal war for a girl's soul, making that war so ugly that it's impossibly beautiful.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Potentially soft material is handled with just the right severity; marvelously acted.
TV Guide
The eight-minute sequence featuring a physical fight between Bancroft and Duke as the teacher attempts to teach the pupil some manners stands as one of the most electrifying and honest ever committed to film.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Anne Bancroft is superb as Annie Sullivan, the teacher who finally reached into Helen Keller's darkness, and Patty Duke is chillingly real as the young Helen.
