Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: Hopkins' Hitch may not reveal inner demons. He's entertaining, as is Mirren. It's fun to watch them elevate a rosy assessment of a first-rate popular artist and the woman who never got the credit she deserved. Read more
Mary F. Pols, TIME Magazine: [A] snappy adaptation of Stephen Rebello's acclaimed nonfiction account Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: An entertaining, economical and thoroughly enjoyable glimpse into a familiar artist's creative process. Read more
Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies: 'Hitchcock' is the 'JFK' of movies about moviemaking, but at least Oliver Stone had the excuse of Jim Garrison's "findings" to hang his loony fiction on. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: It's fluff. But while its dim fantasies about Hitchcock and the association of genius with psychosis can be written off as silly, they also smack of spiteful jealousy. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: One of the best movies of 2012. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: "Hitchcock" rings false from start to finish. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: It's not exactly a perfect marriage, but Hopkins and Mirren create a funny, exasperated chemistry. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: "Hitchcock" is, well, fun. More fun than good, really. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It's all surface and formula. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: The movie opens with a goofy sequence mimicking the TV show, so you know immediately that this will be as lightweight and undemanding a Hollywood fable as My Week With Marilyn. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Hopkins has been fitted out prosthetically to resemble Hitchcock and he does a reasonably good job of impersonating him, but it's a foredoomed effort. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Its ambitions are modest, its payoffs pleasant enough. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: It's tough work giving good face to an iconic role, yet Johansson manages to show Leigh as a thoughtful professional aware of the interpersonal booby-traps set by her director for his leading ladies. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Too much of the time "Hitchcock" plays cute and comfortable. It simply lacks weight. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Sacha Gervasi's broadly enjoyable pop-art biopic about Alfred Hitchcock and the making of Psycho ... Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Film.com: [Gervasi's] Hitch is a portly, naughty cutie-pie who delights in showing off crime-scene photos to his assembled luncheon guests. What a cutup! Don't you just want to hug him? Read more
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: Hitchcock might be a work of fantasy and speculation as much as it is history and biography, but as an interpretation of a major talent's inner life and imagination, it's undeniably lively and provocative. Read more
David Germain, Associated Press: If "Hitchcock" ultimately feels inconsequential, it always aims to please, and for the most part, it does. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Its protagonists turn out to be not especially interesting and the audience is not presented any convincing reason to care about what happens in their lives. Read more
Charlie McCollum, San Jose Mercury News: Hitchcock once famously said that a good filmmaker should always "always make the audience suffer as much as possible." I don't think he meant the kind of suffering "Hitchcock" inflicts on its audience. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The movie spends too much time off the set of Psycho, where the real story was, and focuses instead on incidental matters that feel like outtakes. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: An overly literal idea of the brilliant director, but an entertaining visit to the set of a horror classic. Read more
Richard Brody, New Yorker: Gervasi's workmanlike direction and the by-the-numbers storytelling don't diminish the impact of a tale that, even in its bare outlines, is one for the ages. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: They make it all up, and it's still boring. Read more
Ella Taylor, NPR: Trying to carve out a space between black comedy and straight evocation of a difficult but rewarding marriage, the movie never settles on a tone. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: You won't actually learn much about Alfred Hitchcock from Sacha Gervasi's briskly superficial biopic. But you'll enjoy the experience anyway. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: A good-natured study in ... film-nerd humor. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Hopkins makes a wonderful Hitchcock. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's Hopkins' impersonation of the larger-than-life title figure that holds the movie together. Read more
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com: Filmed with lots of style and a macabre sense of humor the master himself would have enjoyed. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Anthony Hopkins, superb actor although he is, would not seem to be an obvious choice to play Hitchcock, but I accepted him. His makeup job is transformative. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: Hopkins catches the essence of Hitchcock as artist and con man. And Mirren is stellar as his wife and secret weapon. The pleasure of their company adds sparkle to this unexpectedly poignant look at a career and a marriage. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: I genuinely can't figure out why "Hitchcock" was made or who its target audience might be, except that it gratifies our apparently universal appetite to believe that creative geniuses are hateful freaks. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: They could have subtitled it "Dial M for Muddle." Read more
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Hitchcock" is an amusing lark, but the clumsy way it dissects the director is for the birds. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Hitchcock is a stab in the dark. The film gets the suspense part of Alfred Hitchcock right, but for the wrong reasons. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Anthony Hopkins nails the look and sound of the director, but the film itself is uneven. Read more
Justin Chang, Variety: Hitchcock offers almost zero insight into the peculiar workings of creative genius, or into the rich, taboo-shattering legacy of the film whose making it documents. Read more
Karina Longworth, Village Voice: Hitchcock is a movie about bygone Hollywood that's distinctly a product of Hollywood circa now. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: There's something tonally off about the master of anxiety, neurosis and disquiet being depicted in a story this cozy. Read more
