The Girl - A Review

5 Stars - Exceptional

So we see the first of two films about Alfred Hitchcock that will be out in the near future. I highly doubt, however, that Hitchcock will have as negative a view towards him as a person as this did. I also doubt it will be this good.

The film is based on Tippi Hedren's testimony about what Alfred Hitchcock did to her due to his misguided and obsessive love for her. How much truth there are in these claims is a point of large controversy, but it is irrelevant if it actually happened or not, it makes for a very interesting story and characters and that's what matters.

The performances are very powerful, with Toby Jones making a magnificent Hitchcock, and Sienna Miller really captivating and relateable as Hedren. Topped off by a first class supporting cast, this is something of a must see.

You Will Be Disturbed

In short, a brilliant little T.V. Movie, watch it if you can find it.
