If this is Hitchcock's last film, he couldn't have left us on a more confident and mischievously inventive note.

Out of respect for Hitchcock's stature, and his years, Family Plot should be considered as fleetingly as possible.

| May 12, 2020

Hitchcock's final picture is not one of the classics but has many of the elements that made him great.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2020

[A] small masterpiece, one of Hitchcock's most adventurous and expressive experiments in narrative form.

| May 12, 2020

A marvellously fluid light comedy with scarcely a slack moment.

A rolling boil of sex and violence beneath the bland surfaces of suburban placidity.

Family Plot is a dazzling achievement for Alfred Hitchcock masterfully controlling shifts from comedy to drama throughout a highly complex plot.

| Mar 26, 2009

It's a movie that's haunted by death, with lengthy sequences played out in cemeteries.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 14, 2006

Hitchcock ties together the complex strands in a delightful way, with a series of symbols and set pieces which demonstrate that the Old Master had lost his touch not one jot.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 24, 2005

Hitchcock has a deviously complicated tale to tell, and he's going to tell it with labyrinthine detail, and he's not going to cheat.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 23, 2004

Not since To Catch a Thief and The Trouble With Harry has Alfred Hitchcock been in such benign good humor as he is in Family Plot, the old master's 56th feature since he began directing films in 1922.
