Hitchcock Reviews
The film balances its darkness with its cheekiness extremely well. The drama never swings too deep and the comedy never turns farcical.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2024
The acting is top-notch all around, but Gervasi’s treatment makes one want to pick up a Hitchcock biography instead.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 21, 2022
Most closely resembling a romantic comedy, the film's tone keeps the proceedings consistently entertaining, but also prevents intrusion of any serious drama.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 1, 2020
As marvelous as is Hopkins, the film simply wouldn't be the same without the presence of Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's longtime companion Alma Reville.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020
As it turns out, few of the remarkable filmmaker's most interesting concerns or characteristics manage to break their way into Hitchcock.

Hitchcock may have right intentions in mind but not the best execution.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 26, 2019
His obsessive nature is one of the things that makes Hitchcock such a mysterious figure. But we don't learn anything about what made him tick here.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 19, 2018
What's ironic is that Psycho was such a radical, cinematographically novel film, but Gervasi is completely unable to find a meta-referential way of honouring that.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 16, 2018
Even if you've never seen a Hitchcock film in your life, it's worth seeing for the performances alone.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 21, 2018
If you're interested in Hitchcock's domestic life, this film is for you. But don't expect to learn much about the man in the director's chair.

Would have been much better off if it had taken a moment to sit down and decide on its own sensibility... It might have settled on the one, and retained its focus. But it didn't, so it doesn't, and it tells us nothing.

A slimly plotted, rather shallow film about an important director that barely shows him directing.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2018
The plot trundles along in a homely way... but never generates anything truly remarkable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2018
It is not profound or even particularly truthful, but I found it pretty fun to watch.

An occasionally enjoyable, though uneven look, at the making of Psycho... Hitchcock is most engaging when Hopkins and Mirren share the screen as a durable old couple straining under 33 years of marriage.

Hitchcock does noteworthy disservices to the master.

Watching Hitchcock pitch his story to the press and bicker with executives and censors is amusing and sobering at the same time,

Anyone wanting to learn about the real Hitchcock will be disappointed - although Hopkins does get a gold star for a tongue-in-cheek impersonation of Alfred.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2017
... Hitchcock blends fact, rumour, conjecture, fantasy, fiction, pop psychoanalysis and sheer screenwriting laziness into a gaudy, risible mishmash.
