Three Sovereigns for Sarah is a movie depicting the witch trials of Salem, MA in 1692. I feel the movie did do a fairly nice job of getting the history accurate. Everything in the movie was based on the true events and there were no "Added parts" to make the film more entertaining. The performance of the leading actress Vanessa Redgrave was superb, and she really sold the part. She was VERY emotional and it really did seem as though she was the one this was happening to. Also, Samuel Paris's performance was fantastic. He looked concerned, and real throughout the movie. However, the movie was by no means great. The other performers' acting was dismal at best, the girls' screaming and pain simply got redundant and outright annoying. The way the girls' acted during the trials probably was historically accurate, however it was annoying and aggravating. The length of the scenes seemed to drag on as well. Based on all of these factors I rate this movie a 6/10 rating.
