Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

antoniocasaca123 I had a lot of expectations for this movie, but I was disappointed. There are several films of this genre frankly superior. I found the rhythm of the film unnecessarily too slow and boring. The scene of Ingrid Bergman's "forgetfulness" induced by her husband Charles Boyer repeats itself too often, becomes irritating. The film would look better with less than 30 minutes of duration, because it was in the same to tell the story perfectly, would have more rhythm and avoid so many "repeated" scenes. Ingrid Bergman won the Oscar for best actress for this film. I've seen her it in several films with far better interpretations than this one. In this case, it is the typical case of the woman psychologically tortured by the husband and his performance brings nothing new to others of this kind. In this aspect I even find Charles Boyer's role more convincing, although it is also a "typical" performance. Too bad the little time Joseph Cotten had on the film, he always had great acting, he was a great actor. Angela Lansbury is doing very well in her first film role. In short, the film brings nothing new to the genre "noir," which I so much appreciate, and which has had so many good examples in film history, especially in the 1940s and 1950s. It's a reasonable film, nothing more.

Antonius Block Charles Boyer is deliciously creepy and evil in this psychological thriller from 1944, and Ingrid Bergman plays the part of his young wife well, slowly tricked into believing she's losing her mind. Joseph Cotten is her knight in shining armor, and Angela Lansbury makes the most of a small part in her very first film role at the age of 18, as the somewhat flirtatious young maid in the house, and we wonder if she has a role in the scheming that's going on. I loved how Director George Cukor made the film as claustrophobic as Bergman feels herself, by keeping most of the scenes indoor amidst dark lighting and shadows, and outdoor scenes enveloped in London fog. It's quite atmospheric. The movie seems to lack tension towards the middle, when everyone knows what's going on - what Boyer is doing and how he is doing it (which is a bit of a weakness) – but it ends very well, with some scenes that may have you on the edge of your seat.

Ross622 George Cukor's Gaslight is a movie very similar to the many Alfred Hitchcock movies that I saw, but this movie is less in depth when it comes to the psychological thriller part but it still had a superb screenplay. The movie stars Charles Boyer in a terrific performance as Greg Anton a man who comes to a new house with his new wife Paula (played by Ingrid Bergman in an Oscar winning performance)after her aunt gets murdered many years earlier, and then he keeps some jewels a secret and convince his wife that she is ill and out of her mind just to make her mad without even realizing it, then later on in the movie a detective named Brian Cameron (played by Joseph Cotten) who comes into the home to ask her some questions, and then find out Greg's little shortcut from upstairs in the attic back into their residence. Cukor's film tries to convince grown ups to watch out for who you marry because you may not know the way that he/she will treat you during the time course of the marriage.

utgard14 A young bride (Ingrid Bergman) and her husband (Charles Boyer) move into the house where her aunt was murdered years before. Suddenly her sweetheart of a husband becomes cruel and she seems to be losing her mind. A Scotland Yard detective (Joseph Cotten) becomes enamored with her and starts investigating.A great-looking thriller from MGM with a fine cast. It's based on a play (filmed before) but George Cukor does a good job making it feel fresh and not stagy. Wonderful MGM production values. Love those period sets and costumes. Bergman's Oscar-winning performance is one of her best. Boyer and Cotten are solid as ever. Dame May Witty plays a well-intentioned busybody that kind of got on my nerves. Angela Lansbury's good in her film debut. The movie's biggest failing is its predictability. When I first watched it many years ago, I didn't like it much because of this. But now I'm able to appreciate the good qualities of the film more. You get a good idea fairly early on here who the villain is and what they are up to (assuming you weren't spoiled by plot synopses online or in film guides, 95% of which give away the big plot points). Like many classic Hitchcock films, it isn't a mystery or twist that makes it work but fine characters and suspense built up throughout the picture.
