Attention critics! You were right the first time
Reviewed by MatthewThompsonDalldorf for Marnie at 2012-12-17 01:47:14
Title character (Hedren), a mysterious but frigid woman, makes a living my applying for secretary jobs at various companies, then robbing her employers blind and skipping town. When her current boss catches her in the act he blackmails her into marrying him, where he finds himself intrigued by her dark and bewildering past. Though Hitchcock's direction is as polished and imaginative as ever, the technique frills fail to hide the horrendous script and eye-rolling plot holes.Critically panned at the time of it's release, it has since gone on to be praised as a classic. We were right the first time.

WTF
Reviewed by Meg for Suspicion at 2010-04-07 17:08:15
Why is this such an overlooked Hitchcock?! Such a great story, with the typical Hitchcock touch of a blonde being terrorized, and by Cary Grant, playing a shady (suspicious?) guy for one of the few times in his career! If only he could've been the murderer like Hitchcock wanted...

Blood not needed
Reviewed by queenmango for Rear Window at 2009-07-21 22:51:44
This movie is a classic example of how Alfred Hitchcock used suspense instead of blood and gore to scare and thrill. I love this movie especially becasue of the beginning scenes of the life of an apartment owner. It is wonderful.

Not bad, but...

I had heard for years that this was an all-time great movie. I finally saw it today and was not *that* impressed. It was interesting, but for me at least it was a let down after all the hype. Perhaps it just doesn't hold up so well for more modern tastes. It was quite slow paced in my opinion.

One of my favorite Hitchcocks
Reviewed by brendoman for Vertigo at 2008-09-10 13:10:39
My favorite is still Strangers on a Train, but this is close. Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak are fantastic. "Here is where I was born, and here's where I died" - Still gives me shivers.

Jimmy Stewart in His Most Menacing Role
Reviewed by KHL for Vertigo at 2008-04-14 11:41:56
This is probably my favorite Hitchcock movie, for its dark story of obsessive compulsion and its effects on those involved. Any notion of Stewart as the typical 'nice guy' can be left at the door...Hitchcock's direction makes Stewart a well meaning but ultimately troubled and sinister figure who seeks to solve a mystery, but winds up too involved in the bizarre scenario he's investigating. Excellent score by Herrmann, and a dreamy, hypnotic atmosphere should leave you thinking about this movie days after you've seen it.
