Nothing world rocking. Just a good time at the movies.

by alexpolsky

Hopkins does a spot on rendition of the television Hitchcock. Those bits are highlights. For those who know Psycho for the phenomenon it was (and is) it was interesting to see how it got there. Did we need to see the underwear of his relationship with his wife? It was enlightening, and maybe accurate. It was strange to see Helen Mirren in a role of a second fiddle. All in all, a good visit with a classic movie and an iconic director.

Must Go!

My wife wanted to go and dragged me along. I am very glad she did.

I always wear a watch that glows in the dark when I go to movies with my wife. Sometimes I look at it every 10 minutes or so.

As I sat down I realized that I had no idea how long the film was. So I had my watch and no idea how drawn out this misery would be.

I NEVER looked at my watch once. What a superb movie. It told a great love story, a great focused bio of the director and his wife. It made me laugh a lot - out loud. And almost scream once.

Go see it. Leave the watch at home.

Worth A Ticket But Temper Your Expectations.

by Alon Patterson

I guess old "Hitch's" bio rights went up for auction recently, based solely on the seeming avalanche of material about his life that's already found it's way to screens big and small in recent months. Among that fare, this one is fair (pardon the pun) in the way of entertaining. Hopkins and Mirren deliver stellar performances with what can only be described as an amateurish screenplay. Proof once again that there are no small parts, only small actors. and again how genuinely amazing is what real talent can bring to an otherwise dismal effort. All in all this isn't a bad flick, just not one you might want to consider paying an evening ticket price to see. It's a judgment call best left to the one paying I suppose.

HICHCOCK - HOPKINS - MIRREN ...

Does it get any better than this? Fascinating glimpse at the making of one of the best movies ever made. Entertaining and informative throughout with superb acting: Hopkins. Mirren, Johansson, Collette ...

Hitch

by kellyjeanclair

If you know anything at all about Alfred Hitchcock - you will love this film. If you know a lot about Hitchcock - you will love it even more! Anthony Hopkins is magnificent as the 'master of suspense' as well as Helen Mirren as his equally talented wife Alma Reville, who wasn't just the woman 'behind the man' but beside him. I also thought that the supporting cast hit all the right notes, especially James D'Arcy as Tony Perkins - it would be great to see him play Tony in a bio-pic!

A Must For Hitchcock Fans

by ROTRAVELER

Thoroughly enjoyed Hitchcock! It felt like a behind the scenes tour of Psycho. Anthony Hopkins didn't play Hitchcock - he WAS Hitchcock! Besides loving this movie, it left me with the desire to watch all of Hitch's movies again! This was a fitting tribute to a genius.

Excellent Performances

by Film-girlly

Great movie...top rated performances by some of the best actors in the business. Both my husband and I loved the movie. From the start we fell in love with Hitch, his wife and the supporting cast. This movie is a must-see and a perfect package!

Hitchcock is "Bloody Good"!!

by bsosna

If you are a fan of Alfred Hitchcock movies and you like the era in which he made his successful films, you MUST go to see Hitchcock. It tells the story of Hitchcock and his wife Alma durng the filming of the movie Psycho. Thier relationship was both complex and beautiful. Oscar worthy performances from Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren in the leads and a smashing turn from Scarlett Johansson who plays actress Janet Leigh and the ill fated Marian Crane in the movie within the movie. You won't want to miss the intensity during the filming the famous shower stabbing scene. Hitchcock is bloody good!

Despite formula, it works

by scottwoods

A little light on behind-the-scenes Psycho trivia, this is yet another film that uses something we all think we know - psycho - to tell a disparate love story. The device is kind of worn these days, but it works here because of the caliber of the cast and the engaging tie-ins.

Must if you are a fan

by lexygirl5

This cast was wonderful and the story was playful. I was drawn into the world of this film as easily as one of Hitchcock's own episodes on his tv series. Lots of fun notes throughout the script and Anthony Hopkins performance is spot on. Don't wait for this one if you are a fan.

Behind every successful man is a woman...

by pdyon54

Went to see this with my husband. What most impressed me was how much Hitch relied on his wife. Great acting and wonderful cinematography. We thoroughly enjoyed it. For everyone who is a fan of the masterful Alfred Hitchcock and those who have yet to discover his artistry. A must see. PJD in Lakewood CO

Hitchcock is Very Good

by luigi9

We really found the movie exciting. I do believe however that the fact that we are old Hitchcock fans, both in the movie theaters and on television, made us recognize and react favorably to the various references to his earlier works. Having no experience with the executives in the movie industry, we found his position made more difficult by his studio execs.
We both loved the movie, and found the stars extremely convincing in their roles.

Hitchcock Kills It

by

Very well done look at the making of PYSCHO.

Hopkins and Mirren are extraordinary in their respective roles, and it's fun to the see a stellar supporting cast re-create PYSCHO.

The make up on Hopkins is incredible. It's worth seeing for just his transformation.

My only complaint is that we didn't get to see enough re-creations. I could have sat throw another 20 minutes easily.

Overall, it's a fun ride.

VERY ENTERTAINING...

by DBee

It's no surprise that Anthony Hopkins does such a great job, as does Helen Mirren...but it is the script, direction and editing that really makes this so worth seeing!

For the serious Hitchcock fans only...

by t-Bone Adams

Just checked out Hitchcock last night. I for one loved it but I am a big fan of the director the subject of the film, so I went in with excitement. As a stand alone film I thought the story could have been a little stronger but overall the performances were spot on and amazing. Anthony Hopkins & Helen Mirren hit the mark and became the couple that ruled suspense and macabre film kingdom as the time in hollywodd. And the supporting cast was amazing! I came away satisfied that I step into the voyeristic view of the great director and his wife in a pivotal time in his movie career. It was fun to see how Psycho came to be. I was inspired.
