“Wonderful acting. Compelling and an entertaining view of the creative process.”
“An excellent, powerful and riveting film.”
“I enjoyed the film. Because of our Q & A I want to check out bios of Hitchcock.”
“I particularly enjoyed Alma’s costumes.”
“Fabulously cast. Helen Mirren was the best. Anthony Hopkin’s voice was right on. Edited perfectly!”
Marvelously written. Exciting to watch, as thrilling as Hitchcock/Hopkins themselves.”
“Helen Mirren rocks. This and THE GIRL both depict him as perverted and obsessive.”
“A well crafted look at Hitchcock’s process and relationship with his wife. The acting was excellent as always. A more complex and psychologically insightful take than THE GIRL. They could have left out the last scene with the crow. It was too corny.”
“What fun. A slice of Americana.”
“Wonderful! A brilliantly acted, directed and written film. I loved it and will recommend it to all my film friends. Big thanks to all who made it and you for bringing it to us.” Jeanne K.
“Perhaps this was more of a portrait of a marriage than a bio pic of Hitchcock himself. I enjoyed it tremendously and was grateful for a sympathetic telling of the story of Hitch and Alma and the story of the making of PSYCHO. I loved the post production editing scenes.”
“Totally fun!”
“I loved it!”
“Fantastic film. I learned so much from it. Incredible acting sets and costumes.”
“Only PSYCHO itself would be more fun. Hopkins and Mirren were spectacular and the story was like looking through the peephole.”
“The film reminds us and engages us as Hitch’s films did and his TV series did as well in a different medium.”
“An interesting take on the making of PSYCHO but disappointing that there is no mention of Saul Bass the pictorial consultant responsible for the shower scene and titles for PSYCHO. I love PSYCHO such an interesting film to watch over and over and this film wants to pay homage on a very limited way, it misses for me. I like many of the references to PSYCHO, especially the many birds.”
