Review For Hitchcock
A fanciful film buff's delight, a grim yet glittery corner of Hollywood history given a "Hollywood" treatment. No, it's not the literal truth, but as they've said since John Ford's day, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service The movie spends too much time off the set of Psycho, where the real story was, and focuses instead on incidental matters that feel like outtakes. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald An overly literal idea of the brilliant director, but an entertaining visit to the set of a horror classic. Rafer Guzman-Newsday Filmed with lots of style and a macabre sense of humor the master himself would have enjoyed. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com It's tough work giving good face to an iconic role, yet Johansson manages to show Leigh as a thoughtful professional aware of the interpersonal booby-traps set by her director for his leading ladies. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Hopkins has been fitted out prosthetically to resemble Hitchcock and he does a reasonably good job of impersonating him, but it's a foredoomed effort. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Hitchcock's playful yet slightly dark tone makes it an easy film to watch and the insight into Hitch the man will be a hoot for any fan of his work. Tim Martain-The Mercury Many will leave the theatre with a smile on their face but in my eyes, Hitchcock focuses on the wrong characters and tries too hard to please. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane ...the movie's on-the-nose vision of the man makes for an unsurprising narrative. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm For anyone with even a passing interest in cinema, Hitchcock is a legendary figure and a story that purports to take us inside his private world and public life is irresistible Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile The film has an alluring voyeuristic feel about it, as we are invited into the professional as well as the private world of the Master of Suspense Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Disappointingly flat. Hitchcock the man feels best left where he himself enjoyed being most: behind the camera. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Interesting - Not Great Diana Saenger-ReviewExpress.com The tone of the picture is often off-kilter throughout, but the subject matter and the performance of Helen Mirren as Alma go a long way toward forgiving the movie's strange anomalies. Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies I enjoyed this inside look at how Psycho became Hitchcock's biggest hit, but I can't imagine how anyone who hasn't studied Hitchcock would find much of interest in it. Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly Unfortunately an illuminating bio-pic of one of cinema's most enduring and celebrated figures is not what's been delivered. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show It is probably worth some time in a movie like this to show that Hitchcock had a life other than just making movies. This movie concentrates more on the man behind the movies than the mechanics of movie-making, and that is a defensible choice. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope Highlighted by two strong leads and solid support work but hamstrung by a low-budget sense of period and some soapy dramatics. Simon Foster-sbs.com.au Hopkins and Mirren take what could have been an ordinary film and elevate it to the status of one of the year's best. Hitchcock would be proud. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com Gervasi's latest stretches the truth so frequently and so far it ends up less the story of the genius behind Psycho than a bunch of biographical hooey that's for the birds. Rick Kisonak-Film Threat remains frustratingly surface level in its aspirations, taking us through familiar Psycho-related trivia without ever making it truly come alive James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk The Ed Gein bits seem like pretentious filler, and a lot of Hitchcock feels padded, though it's only 98 minutes. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com Helen Mirren, playing opposite Anthony Hopkins, does the movie's best acting work as Hitchcock's right-hand woman. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) Hitchcock is most engaging when concentrating on the nitty gritty of Psycho's development, as opposed to the potboiler subplot involving his wife that leaves very little at stake.
