Hitchcock - A Review

4 Stars - Entertaining


The second film in a short period of time to chronicle the making of Alfred Hitchcock's films, following The Girl. Sadly this film, whilst good, is not anywhere near The Girl in terms of quality.

The performances are the strongest point of this film, with Anthony Hopkins clearly having the time of his life playing Alfred Hitchcock and Helen Mirren powers through the role of Alma Reville.

The portrayal of Hitchcock here is much more sympathetic than in the girl, which sadly isn't as interesting to watch as the much more monstrous and unnerving portrayal in The Girl.

A Good Likeness

Not So Much...
In short, worth a watch, but watch The Girl afterwards and make your own opinions.
