With a Friend Like Harry... Reviews
A smart horror story, at once thrilling and upsetting...
| Nov 16, 2020
One of the few post-Chabrol psychological thrillers to really get near Hitchcock, and to successfully update him in some ways, this French film probes deep into the mind of its protagonist...

Our laughter is deep and lasting, as are our shivers.

All the hallmarks of a classic Hitchcock thriller. The master would certainly approve.

Add "who needs family?," and that's a good indication of how "Harry" dives into - but doesn't easily resolve - a strangely symbiotic muse relationship. Evil can be just as banal as everyday life, an idea explored with nasty wit and not brutish violence.

A chance encounter (or is it) with an old forgettable classmate in a restroom leads to an unforgettable and unwelcome intrusion

Like the best of Hitchcock, Harry captures the lyrical ambiguity of 'normal evil,' the actions we're all capable of committing in the name of a just quest.

creeps under your skin and leaves you uncomfortable for hours. It could be the French answer to "Strangers on a Train" or "The Talented Mr. Ripley"...

The true strength of this thriller is how the duet plays out. The true shock is how casually perverse the underlying message becomes.

Encourages yelling at the screen.

A quiet thriller...with occasional touches of macabre humor and the odd moment of suspense.
