Hitchcock
Oscar Winners Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren are spellbinding in this provocative story about the making of one of cinema’s most iconic films. Plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt, Hollywood legend Alfred Hitchcock (Hopkins) becomes obsessed with a grisly murder story that the studios won’t back. Determined, he risks his reputation, his home and even the love of his wife Alma (Mirren), as he sets out to make the film. Ultimately, Hitch wins Alma over, and the two collaborate to create an enduring masterpiece – Psycho.
Also starring Scarlett Johansson, Toni Collette and Jessica Biel.
Critic Reviews:
- " Most closely resembling a romantic comedy, the film's tone keeps the proceedings consistently entertaining, but also prevents intrusion of any serious drama. " _ Mike Massie
- " Even if you've never seen a Hitchcock film in your life, it's worth seeing for the performances alone. " – Debbie Baldwin
- " It is not profound or even particularly truthful, but I found it pretty fun to watch. " – Asia Frey
