Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

rodrig58 Well, that's a cool role for Mr. Anthony Hopkins! Super cool! And Helen Mirren is absolutely exceptional! A super actress! I always liked her, in all her movies, she was born to be an actress, she has a bright star in her head and a deep deep fire in her heart! I always liked Anthony Hopkins, except for the obvious role for money in "Transformers: The Last Knight". And follows Odin in "Thor: Ragnarok," they probably pay him terribly well to get involved in such productions... Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors, I love him and I admire him. And I wish I had a wife like Alma! Congratulations Sacha Gervasi!

Kingslaay Hitchcock was a passable and average film. I noted one reviewer said the film was better when it looked at the filming of Psycho as opposed to Hitchcock's marital relations, I couldn't agree more. Hitchcock is perhaps one of the greatest directors of all time. His innovative techniques and style brought a new experience to film as he cared about the film experience. Hence we had a degree of voyeurism as it was a lens for the audience to perceive the film and experience it. It was a nice glimpse into history to see the making of Psycho and the hurdles Alfred Hitchcock jumped to get it across the line. A sad truth about the film industry where reputation still wasn't good enough and Hitch had to pay for it himself. Anthony Hopkins is passable as Hitchcock as he somewhat resembles his stature and appearance and sounds like him. However he was not entirely convincing at being Hitch. Still, I am unsure who else could have played with role. The strength of the film was the behind the scenes film making of Psycho and its weakness was the marital problems with Hitch and Alma. Sadly the majority was about his marriage. Perhaps a better director with more flair that Hitch himself would appreciate could have directed this. I felt all the ingredients were there to make a great film but it was poorly 'cut' and put together.

braddugg A narrowed down film, myopic and predictable.It is a film that deals with how Alfred Hitchcock made the thriller called 'Psycho'. It is good nonetheless but never becomes great.Are there any moments of greatness at least? Absolutely not. It comes across as a fictionalized documentary more than a fascinating drama. Having said that, the performance by Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock is worth appreciating. Other performances are good enough too.What failed me was the script that kept many things obvious. There was no guile, secrecy or a metaphor in any of the scenes. The screenplay followed a well-documented path. Yes, for few instances it gets into the psyche of Hitchcock and tries to interpret some actions but they come very much late in the film.Overall, I must say the viewing of this film was daunting more than being insightful for me. The actual interviews of Hitchcock himself are more interesting than this film.It's a 2/5 for showing few days of an illustrious career and personality.

Fluke_Skywalker Tonally scattershot, clumsily zipping between frothy comedy, melodrama and... whatever that was with Hitch's imaginary conversations with Ed Gein. It's also a bit thin and lacks true insight. But despite this, it still delivers a (mostly) entertaining, if fantastical, look at Hitchcock making his most iconic film ('Psycho'). Hopkins plays Hitchcock mostly as a caricature, but it works well with the material. Mirren balances this out with a more grounded performance, and a good supporting cast do just that. I can't help but believe with the talent assembled there was a better film in here somewhere, but for what it is, 'Hitchcock' is a decent little cupcake of a movie.
